Whhhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy??!!

This is the cry ringing in our ears almost all the time at the moment. Emilia wants to know everything about everything. A (small) selection of the questions she has asked in the last few days are:

Why is that the oven?
Why are we going to the airport?
Why are Granny and Grampa going on holiday?
Why is it Wednesday?
Why am I having a bath?
Why am I in the buggy?



The challenge is to answer the question without being drawn in to an endless cycle:

E: Why is that the oven?
Me: Because that is where we cook our food.
E: Why?
Me: Because it is hot.
E: Why?
Me: Because it is the oven.
E: Why?

And so on!
