Why?

Kate received 2 dresses from my brothers girlfriend for her birthday, one is green (as modeled expertly in the picture) and one is pink. Even though these dresses would not be my first choice, as they look more like night gowns to me (they are actually intended to be beach dresses) without a doubt if she knows they are clean she would choose either her green or pink 'shirt' as she so calls them. Whether its my choice or not she loves them and I can't help it, I just think she is cute. Also we have just entered the 'why' phase. I don't know how one little word can get so annoying!! Although I did have a little chuckle to myself tonight as Eric was giving Kate and Sara their bath, Eric told Kate that there was maybe just a little bit too much water in the tub for Sara, it was followed by about 10 why's and its fun to hear someone else try to come up with as many answers as possible before retorting to the good old "because I said so". I do remember my dear old mum, I am one of four and with all of her motherly wisdom when we would ask "why?" she just simply replied 'z'.
