Why

Subtitle: A list of questions currently occupying space in my brain.

• Why do boys find insects/creepy-crawling-things so funny? In our house, whenever a person audibly passes gas, Chuck and Jack yell "Who let in the barking spiders?!" which I don't even understand. They also have a running joke about eating worms.
• Why are mirrors confusing? Jack should understand them by now, but asked me at a birthday party yesterday how he gets "there" - pointing in the mirror at a game that was right next to him.
• Why do babies hate having their diapers changed?
• Why do squirrels need to eat our bird food? Can't they find enough food on their own?
• Why is Jack obsessed with listing things that "only Mommy can do" or "only Daddy can do"? And why is my list so much shorter?
• Why can kids spin around and not get dizzy but I take 3 turns and need to hold on to something? Same thing with somersaults.
• Why do servers put knives and hot plates in front of my children? Do they teach them to do that to separate the parents that are paying attention from the ones that aren't? Are they undercover Children and Family Services employees?
• Why can't children sit still? Ever? If you watch Jack closely - he NEVER stops moving. Even if he's sitting down, he's moving his feet or bobbing his head. When do we outgrow that?
• Why do kids want to carry cats around? And why do they think it's best to hold them under their armpits so their front legs are sticking straight out in front of them?
