I’ve long taken for granted the ease that my older two children grasped the concept of the word “why”.
Whether it was my stepson Kyler asking “why” he couldn’t stay home school to play video games, or “why” he had to do his homework, to Claire-Marie answering “why” she had chosen to dress the cat up in her doll clothes.
They both got it.
With Mason as we’ve come to learn, he is the exception to everything.
