why

Dylan,

You've reached one of those points we knew would come eventually: The "why?" stage.

Now suddenly everything we say is greeted with this simple query, as is the ensuing answer, and the answer after that and the answer after that. Why. Why. Why. Why. Why. It's almost not even a question, just a way to drive the conversation and keep an adult talking.

To a certain degree I enjoy at least the sheen of curiosity and so go along with it a few levels deep. But it's usually not long before I'm turning the question back on you, or telling you I think you already know the answer.
