Why not?

Just a few days after Will’s first why question, I’m starting to wonder if he’ll ask another. Since then, though, he’s certainly got why not down pat. First thing this morning:

Come here, Will, we have to change your diaper. You can't run around in that wet soggy diaper all morning.

Why not?

No, Will, you can’t have a peanut sandwich for breakfast. (Well, it's peanut butter, but that's not what he calls them).

Why not?

No, Will, you can’t play in the big water right now; we’re going to school (the mud puddles around here really are getting big after all the hurricane rain we've had).

Why not?

No, Will, we can’t have an Icee every time we go to Target.

Why not?

Why not, indeed.
