« better vocab than their Mama | Main | please stay straight »

I try not to use the answer "because"...

Typical conversation with Julia:

Mama: Julia you are so sweet. (or anything - this milk is delicious, this cup is yellow, the sky is pretty, the phone is ringing...)

Julia: Why?

Mama: Because you are smart and kind and beautiful...

Julia: Why?

Mama: Because that's the way you are.

Julia: Why am I like that?

Mama: Because we taught you to be like that and plus you are special.

Julia: Why?

Mama: Because you are a good girl.

Julia: Why am I a good girl?

Lather, rinse, repeat until infinity.
