Not all progress is good
This weekend, at long last, Liana seems to have finally stumbled upon the idea of asking "Why...?" about everything. Everything. Every. Damn. Thing.
"Why did that stop playing music?" - Because the battery is probably dying.
"Why is the battery probably dying?" - Because we've had that music-cube for a long time.
"Why have we had it for a long time?" - Because you were very small when we got it.
"Why was I very small when you got it?" - Because that's how it was.
"Why was that how it was?" - Because.
"Why because?" - Because.
I always knew this day was coming, in theory, but the difference between theory and practice is the difference between doing some calculus on a chalkboard and Neil Armstrong putting his foot on the moon.
------
For consideration: why did Neil Armstrong put his foot on the moon?
