Why?

This week I have finally figured out that when someone asks me a question with "Why?" I'm supposed to answer by starting with "Because...."  For a long time, people would ask me "Why?" and I would just nod in response.  For instance, "JoMo, why did you throw that on the floor?"  "JoMo, why did you do that?"  "JoMo, why don't you want to wear this nice shirt that matches your trousers?"  I thought the answer was "Yes."  But now I've figured out that I'm supposed to start with "Because...."  I don't always know how to finish the sentence though.  I get kind of stuck on "Because...." and then my voice fades away as I try to think up an explanation.  But I've heard that sometimes that happens to Mommies and Daddies, too.  I hear other children asking "Why?" and the parent saying "BECAUSE!!"  

Maybe I should start asking Mommy and Daddy "Why?"  Then they'll realize how stressful that question can be!

Meanwhile, I'll leave you with one of my current favorites on YouTube--Norah Jones singing to the letter Y.
