WHY?

Yesterday when I was preparing to bring Jared out, he asked for me to carry him. So I told him plainly that I couldn't carry him because it'll hurt my tummy. To which he said, "Is it because you cut open your tummy for Cadence to come out?"

Woah! That was unexpected. I said to him, "Yes. That's why I'm still healing and I can't carry you."

Then came the inevitable 'WHY' questions that he is now soooooo fond of asking.

Jared: "Why pain ah?"
Me: "Err, coz they cut me open with a knife?"
Jared: "Why cut with a knife?"
Me: "For Cadence to come out?"
Jared: "Why she wanna come out?"
Me: "BECAUSE SHE CANNOT STAY INSIDE FOREVER?"

And I distracted him with sweets to stop him asking for the time being... Oh, please don't say I'm a bad mummy for offering sweets to get a temporary respite from his incessant questioning!

When we were at the petrol station the other night and he was whining to follow GG out of the car, I had to tell him it's smelly outside, that's why we had to stay in. That opened up more reasons for him to ask questions.

Jared: "Why must stay in the car?"
Me: "Because it's so smelly outside."
Jared: "Why smelly ah?"
Me: "Because of the petrol smell."
Jared: "Why is petrol smelly?"
Me: "Because there is a chemical in it that makes it smelly."
Jared: "Why is the chemical smelly?"
Me: "You wanna eat my new sweet?"

ARRRRRGH!!!!!! I simply can't answer all his 'why' questions!!!!!
