Why Chromosome

We have entered the Why Phase.

Real conversation last night in the car:

Trailhead Kid: Mommy, I can't see in the car.

Me: I know. It's dark.

Trailhead Kid: Why is it dark?

Me: Because it's nighttime.

Trailhead Kid: Why is it nighttime?

Mr. T: Why do you ask "why" all the time?

Trailhead Kid: Turn on the light so I can see.

Me: We can't. You're not supposed to drive at night with the light on in your car.

Trailhead Kid: Why?

Me: Because the driver can't see the road with the light on in the car.

Trailhead Kid: Why?


And so it goes, with everything. I wonder why.
