For awhile Lucy has been answering all our questions of why, such as "why are you biting your hand?", or "why are you throwing that on the floor?", or "why is the monster sad?" with one response:
"Just 'cause."
Pithy and true, it seems to me, why else does a toddler do what she does?
But today she asked me why for the first time as we were reciting nursery rhymes.
Lucy: "5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10"
Mama: "I let him go again!"
Lucy: Pause. "Why did you let him go?"
So I guess it begins.
