It has become a common question at our house: Tom's version of "why?" is "how come?" I'll admit, I've been a little annoyed-- he has to ask this question after almost everything I say. But, I know this comes with the age, and a part of me is proud that Thomas actually cares about the reasoning behind the things he hears. I've tried to be as honest as possible in my explanations, including telling him that sometimes I don't really know the answer. This, of course, prompts another "How come?" and to that I reply, "Because Mom just isn't as smart as she looks."
