Why Parents of Preschoolers Are Insane (Conversation had while driving in 91-degree weather, rush-hour traffic with screaming baby.)

“Why did you not have a cat when you were growing up?”
“Because they made Grampa sneeze.”
“Why?”
“Because he was allergic to them.”
“Why?”
“Because that’s the way he was born.”
“Why?”
“Because maybe his mama or his papa was allergic to them too.”
“What does allergic mean?”
“When something makes your eyes water and makes you sneeze.”
“Why?”
“Because your body doesn’t like it.”
“Why?”
“Some people’s bodies are just like that.”
“Is that why you didn’t have a cat when you were growing up, because of cats making Grampa’s body sneeze?”
“Yep.”
“Why?”

And so on.

Ugh, that sounds rough! Had a similar car experience this weekend, except A's question is always "What does X mean?" Could drive you batty.

Hope you are having fun snuggling your new niece!
