The "Why" Trap

Ever been caught in a "why?" trap? You know... when your little one begins to ask "why?" in response to every thing.

"Can I have a Popsicle?", asks Cece.
"Not right now hunny, we are having supper in a few minutes", replies Mom.
"Why?", asks Cece.
"Because its time to eat?", Mom answers.
"Why is it time to eat?", says Cece.
"Because it is 6pm and some people like to eat supper at 6pm.
"Why do people like to eat supper at 6pm?", she asks.

Fast forward....

"Why are you giving Rex a bottle?", asks Cece.
"Because he is hungry and it is almost time for him to go to bed," says I.
"Why is he hungry?", asks She.
"Because all of the food that I gave him a few hours ago is all used up and his tummy is growling at him," says I.
(pause)
"Why?", she asks again.................
