Of late, Grammy has become obsessed with the question, “Why?” It reminds me of my own inquisitive stage, when I’d ask my dad incessantly, “How come?”

Here are some recent answers to Grammy’s “Why?”:

• Because it’s hot
• Because that’s just how farts are, they smell
• Because the earth revolves around the sun
• H=mc^T (I don’t know the keystroke for delta)
• Because flies are dirty
• Because they land on poo
• Because I stink
• Because Bailey stinks
• Just because
• Because I said so, and I’m the boss
