The Curse of the WHY

On our way to get medicine for Brother, Big Girl asked me a question.

Mom: I don't know.

Big Girl: Why?

Mom: I said, I do not know why. We can go learn why, later.

Big Girl: WHY?! WHY?! WHY?! WHY?!

Mom:
Big Girl, I said I do not know why. When I say 'I don't know,' that means that I cannot tell you why. You should not ask me why anymore when I say, 'I don't know.'

Big Girl: Why can I not ask why?

Later, after we were back with the medicine for Brother, we gave him his first dose. After he took it, like a champ,
Big Girl said:

What a good boy he is to take all of his medicine!
