Why?

Such a small word, yet by no means a simple one. Especially not when demanded of a 4 year old expecting you to provide answers to all of life's intricacies.


Sometimes it can become an annoyance - as any parent of a small child understands. Why, why, why....until you don't even know up from down yoursef anymore! Other times it can be quite amusing, and a charming insight into the workings of a child's mind. Take the conversation that Jasmine had with her dad in bed early this morning. It went something like this;


Jasmine: 'Dad, is your tatoo on forever?'


Nick: 'Yes'


Jasmine: 'Why?'


Nick: 'Because it's permanent'


Jasmine: 'Did you have it when you was a baby?'


Nick: 'No'


Jasmine: 'Why?'


Nick: 'Because I had it done when I was an adult'


Jasmine: 'Did it grow on you?'


Nick: 'No'


Tanya: 'Someone draws it on with a needle'


Jasmine:' What?! A needle? Why?'





And so it went on.....
