WHY???? (he asks)

The last few months, Austin has entered the "WHY?" stage, and let me tell you, it might be cute and funny for a few questions, but it's those times like driving in the car for a long period of time, that it gets a little repetitive! :) Seriously though, Austin will ask "Why?" for just about anything and everything. Whether it's why he needs to eat lunch, or why he needs to clean up his room, or why he needs to take a bath, or why he needs to take a nap, or why he needs to sit in time-out, well, you get the point.

Fortunately though, there are some pretty funny conversations we have to his "WHY?" questions. Like the other day we were driving, and he noticed a bunch of cows in a field and he asked, "Mom, why do cows smell so bad?" Following my response (about cow manueur), he said, "well maybe if they had toilets they could flush their poop down the toilet so it doesn't smell badly". After I was done laughing and explaining to him that cows don't poop in toilets (nor does any animal for that matter), he thoughtfully replied, "well then, maybe they need to take baths more." That was it for me! I practically had to pull over, I was laughing so hard!
