Why??

Yep, the "why" phase is definitely here to stay for awhile. Brianna started back up with that game again the other day after dinner. Here's how it went:

Me:"I'm gonna wipe your face, you're dirty."
Bree: "Why?"
Me: "Because, dinner was messy and your face is dirty."
Bree: "Why?"
Me: "Because dinner was messy."

This went on for some time until Bree got a new idea.

Bree: "Dad, ice cream for sert (desert)?"
Travis: "Why?"
Bree: "I want some okay, ice cream!"
Travis: "Why?"
Bree: "I like ice cream."
Travis: "Why?"
Bree: "Um, have some ice cream for sert? I has to."
Travis: "Why?"
Bree: "ICE CREAM!" (screaming now and NOT amused)

I guess Trav was trying to give her a taste of her own medicine. But, usually when he teases her he doesn't know when to stop. He'll keep going until he's just aggravating her, which, in turn aggravates me. Then it's like having 2 kids instead of one. But, naturally, one of the things that first attracted me to Travis was his silly sense of humor and sometimes childlike joy with life and the simple things. Well, you know what they say..that the things that attract you to someone at first are the same things that will drive you completely bonkers later. What I want to know is....WHY?! :)
