Question (Five Minute Friday)

Sharing is caring!

When our nephew “B” was four years old, he went through a phase. The phase was one we thought would never end. He would ask a question and we would answer it. He would then ask us, “Why?”, and we would try to explain and then he would ask again. No matter what we told him he just continually questioned us with, “Why?”. Over and over and over it went that way. It must have been his favorite word just then, or maybe it was his questioning phase. It got to be so obnoxious, that we would eventually get to the answer, “Because I said so, that’s why!”. You guessed it, he would ask, “Why?”, even to that answer. Eventually, we just began avoiding him and eventually the phase passed like so many other phases kids go through. Maybe he outgrew it or just realized everyone avoided talking to him for a while. I was never so happy to have a phase end as I was that one. Did your kids go through a questioning phase like our nephew? I don’t remember our own kids doing this, but maybe they did.
