Dear Child,

I will get you anything you want, and I mean anything- life-sized roller coaster, actual dinosaur, working wings, whatever- if you can but do me one small favor:

Go 48 hours without invoking the word "why".

Really. Your heart's desire. Just don't ask me one more why question for the rest of the weekend. Please.

Love,

Mommy

And that goes double from your auntie.

I'd ask you why, but I suspect you might get in the car and drive down here to throw things at me. On the other hand if you do that, it's be a couple of hours on your own and we could chatch some Harry Potter!

OMG I feel the exact same way when I babysit my friends' kids. Honestly, this is part of why I'm not sure I want to HAVE kids - the incessant "why?" drives me UP THE FREAKING WALL.

that's a safe offer!!

wait til he gets onto a certain subject and wouldn't quit asking questions about it! My mother once accused me of being overly interested in reproduction (I was an OB nurse--of course I was interest in reproduction) and she said that's why Ruth Ann kept asking about having babies etc. But I deny that I was the cause of anything, because Andy was really into gravity, and trust me I really wasn't really very interested in gravity AT ALL!!
