Why you askin' me?

So the day we've been waiting for has finally reared it's ugly head...Annie has discovered that there may be a purpose to life, and other random things that go on during the day. Everything we say is now questioned by Annie and her constant quest for knowledge...why, why, why. Actually it is kind of convenient for us because what Annie actually says is "why-because" one word. When I hear her say that, I think to myself, "Exactly! You just answered your own question...good thinking Annie!" But then I realize that she would probably benefit in some sort of explanation other than the standard because answer. The other day I told her it was time for bed...here is how the conversation went:

Me - Annie, it's time for bed.
Annie - Why-because?
Me - (exactly!) Because it's getting dark and your getting tired.
Annie - Why-because?
M - Because we had a long day and we need some rest.
A - Why-because?
M - Because the earth rotates around the sun and it gets dark out and time marches on and we get sleepy from being awake all day
A - Why-because?
M- Because you can only be awake for so long before you go crazy.
A- Why-because?
M- Because I'm going crazy right now.
A - Why-because?
M - Because...because it's dark outside and we go to bed when it gets dark out.
A - Why-because the sun went to China?
M - Yes! Why-because didn't I think of that? (It's a very catchy word, this why-because...I've started to use it myself. Very effective method of keeping the humor alive while you are driving people crazy with questions)
