Its an event I had heard a lot about, parents talk about it in almost hushed tones. Its the start of the dreaded "why" phase of talking. I got my first why question yesterday, "papa, why did you eat too much?". Every parent wants to explain the world to their children, perhaps make things easier or simpler for them to understand. With the hope that they have fewer pains learning and growing up than he did.
So answering "why's" are pretty imperative, but the "why's" are supposed to be unending and for every answer given another "why" follows. A friend of ours told us how she once went through a series of 17 "why" questions before her daughter was finally done. Scary :)
