Because I Said So!

What's the girl's name who sings this song mama?
Laura Story
Why is that her name?
Because her parents liked it for her when she was born.
Why was she born?
Because her parents wanted a baby (treading in murky water, here...)
Why is the song over mama?
Because she needed a break from singing and so another song could come on.
Oh.  What's the name of the boy that sings this song?

And it continues.  All. Day. Long.  How does a kid come up with so many questions?  My mind is exhausted.  I need a break from all the inquiries.  Please! Go ask Scott, doesn't he know?  Oh, he is at work.  He works at Disneyland today? Oh, and he works at heaven with God tomorrow? That makes sense.  Good ol' Scott.  His mom is nice and lets him eat yogurt in the car.  She also lets him climb up the slide instead of only going down it, and she lets him do two things at once even though Grace has to keep working on only doing one thing at once.  Oh, and his mom of course never makes him eat his vegetables, yet he keeps growing big and strong so he really doesn't need them. Yes, Scott, you are sure are a pesky imaginary friend.  Can't you help a mama out once in awhile?  I mean yes, I do appreciate that you don't give Grace peanut butter, but do you have to insist on eating chocolate chip cookies for dinner?  Really?

Almost-three is interesting.  Most days it's fun.  Some days it's a nightmare.  Typically it is a challenge, a crackup, and a reward all wrapped into one big adventure.
