"Why"

My daddy always jokes that he's going to simply put the word "why" on my momma's tombstone, because bar none, it's her favorite in the English language. I guess I can't blame her... she's off the charts intelligent, so it only makes sense that her curiosity would constantly be sparked.

The characters of this story --->

I have to laugh, however, because sometimes when I think of the word "why", I picture the little kid who just asks it over and over to be annoying. Don't get me wrong... I don't find little kids annoying, but I am totally convinced that they know what they're doing when they keep pestering because no answer is ever good enough for them.

Those two concepts bring me to my most recent conundrum if you will... WHY. Why this and not that? Why is that happening? Why is this not happening? Why don't I know? Why won't this happen? Why did I do that? Why did they do that? And ultimately, as I start to drown in my sea of "why", I arrive at a whole new issue: "WHAT NOW?!"

And that, the "what now" is where I am currently stationed. I have asked about every why question I can come up with (though I am sure more are on their way) and to be frank, haven't been able to come up with many of the answers. So now, I must go on, with out the answers to those questions and try to answer the new set of "what nows".

I'm sure once I grow tired of not knowing the answer to the "what now" just like I did of the "why" I will probably stumble across something like "how" or "when" or maybe a just plain "uh oh".

Either way, that's just make my day fantastic... NOT.
