Why Mom? Why?

Makenna is in the "Why" stage, and has been since sometime this summer. She is very persistent, and is not easily "put-off" with simple answers. She wants to know everything about a certain topic. She is also very involved with my phone conversations. She listens to everything I say, and wants to know "What's happening?" "What's 'Oh No'?" "What's 'Really'?" We have been having some very interesting conversations that I did not think I would be having with my still 2 year old. Some of our recent topics have included:

Why Grandpa didn't build his house all by himself and who helped him

Why daddy has to go to school

When will Makenna be able to go to school, and more importantly, when will she be able to drive herself (Her response: In two years...In Makenna's mind, everything will be happening in two years)

Why we will probably have to move away from Indiana once Daddy finds a job

Why boys pee standing up, and girls pee sitting down (Really?!!)

When presented with new information, Makenna's response is usually "Oh, I remember that!" Like this topic is something she really knows all about, but has just momentarily forgotten.

Here is an example of one of our recent conversations:

Makenna: Why is daddy working on his computer?
Me: He has some homework to do for school.
So that he can get a job?
Yep, so that he can get a job.
Are you going to get a job?
I have a job, I’m a mommy for you and Hudson.
You are?
Yep.
Can I get a job?
When you get older you can get a job.
Maybe for my birthday I can get a computer so that then I can get a job.
You want a computer for your birthday?
Yeah, one like daddy, so that I can get a job,but I want a PINK one that matches my toes!
