Cody's Inquisition

Cody is a very inquisitive little boy...always asking questions. I hear that it is very typical for kids his age. But no matter how many blogs I read or articles I see about "dealing with your child's curiosity", I still seem to get annoyed and aggravated by having to constantly explain EVERYTHING, ALL THE TIME!

It happened again today when Cody started asking questions about where we were going and where was it and how were we going to get there.... Clay decided to beat him at his own game by answering questions BEFORE he could ask them. Here is how the conversation went:

CLAY: (Where are we going?) We are going to the movie theater, (where is it?) it is located on Cary Parkway, (how do we get there?) we have to drive to High House and turn left, (why do we have to go to High House?) because that's how they engineered the roads, (why did they engineer the roads?) because they hired smart engineers to design it, (why are they smart?) because they went to college, (why did they go to college?) so they could get good jobs, (why did they want good jobs?) because they wanted to make a lot of money, (why did they want a lot of money?) because they were greedy.

.....about then is when we stopped to laugh at how ridiculous it all was and celebrated how Clay had outsmarted Cody's inquisition. Then Cody said....

CODY: But why?
