Why? Why? Why?……
This seems to be the favoured question that Oliver is using at the moment, He asks Why? to everything.
I am quite sure that he knows that is really starting to grate on me as he is saying more and more, he even walks away from me laughing after saying it. I can totally understand if he was just being curious and wanting to learn about new things and how they work but he answers with why to a lot of things like;
It’s dinner time…..Why?
Eat your breakfast…..Why?
Hold my hand……Why?
Pick up your toys…..Why?
It’s time for bed…..Why?
Play nicely with your big brother…..Why?
Stop fighting…..Why?
Come and have a wash…..Why?
This was one of the conversations we had the other day
Oliver: Mum, where are we going?
Me: I’m taking you to Liz’s house
Oliver: Why?
Me: Because Mummy has to go to work and you have to go to Liz’s house whilst I am there
Oliver: Why?
Me: Mummy works for an extra little bit of money
Oliver: Why?
Me: Because adults have to work so they can have money in the bank
Oliver: Why?
Me: Because I need to pay for all the clubs that you boys attend, holidays and our bills
Oliver: But Daddy works!
Me: Yes, but Mummy wants to work too!
Oliver: Why?
Me: Because Oliver, Just Because!
Most of the conversations go like this, where after a while i just answer with, Just Because!
Do you have similar conversations with your little ones?
Every day. Every single day. And it drives me insane. And just as the eldest has grown out of it, the little started last week. Argh!!!
Oh dear! Bless you. I thought it was bad enough with just my one saying it
Kai is exactly the same lately. It’s why to everything and if not that then it’s “because” 2 favourite words. Hope the boys are ok x
I haven’t had the because yet but I’m sure it will come. We’re fine thanks hun, hope your well too x
