Why? Why? Why?

Maren has started with the "Why?" questions. Here is a sampling of our scintillating conversation in the car this morning.

Maren "Grampa shoveling." (She saw a man shoveling from the car window.)
Jana "Yes, Grampa shovels."
M - "Bunny shovel."
J - "No, Bunny doesn't shovel."
M - "Why?"
J - "Bunny isn't strong enough to lift the snow."
M - "Why?"
J - "Grampa has strong arms. He shovels."
M - "Why?"
J - "Grampa is bigger."
M - "Why?"
J - "Grampa is better at shoveling."
M - "Why?"
J - "Grampa is strong."
M - "Why?"

And on and on...She took a two minute break from talking and then said...

M - "Why?"
J - "Why, what, Punkin?"
M - "Why?"
J - "Why, what?"
M - "Why?"
J - "Why, what?"
M - "Why, Laurie?" (referring to the Laurie Berkner CD playing in the car)
J - "Why, Laurie? Because we like her songs."
M - "Why?"

I'm grateful that she is inquisitive, although I think this is the beginning of years, maybe decades of questions that we can't answer.
