It Has Begun!

The dreaded phase in which parents speak of only in fear all over the nation! Joli has learned the word "Why?". I knew this day was coming at it was only a matter of time, but today, this official day, it has begun.

Joli: "What are you doing, Mommy?"

Me: "Wrapping a present."

Joli: "Why?"

Me: "Because it's a nice thing to do."

Joli: "Why?"

Me: "Because that's what people do."

Joli: "Why?"

Me: "That's just the way it's always been done."

Joli: "Why?"

Me: "Because I wasn't around yet to stop them."

Joli: "Why?"

Me: "Because GG and Papa Paul hadn't decided to have me yet."

Joli: "Why?"

Me: "Because they were doing good things for lots of people."

Joli: "Why?"

Me: "Because it was a nice thing to do."

Joli: "Why?"

Me: "Because God said so."

Joli: "Why?"

Me: "Because He's God."

Joli: "Why?"

Me: "Because Daddy said so."

Joli: "Oh, okay."

Well folks, in the eyes of a two-year-old, Daddy trumps God. Sorry.
