The joys of having children

Given I don't have children of my own...yet....I thought I'd share this silly story.

I was feeling pretty grumpy and inconvenienced earlier and really wasn't in the mood for anything, but we picked up our two year old nephew so he could spend the night at our house and we were on our way home, when he saw McDonalds. Like all American toddlers, he recognized the arches and got really excited, "DONALD'S!!!!!!! DONALD'S!!!!!!" Since we still needed to feed him dinner, we stopped, but went through the drive thru since it was late. 

He was so excited and we got to the first window and paid and started driving to the second window, when he became nervous and his eyes got really big and concerned and he started asking, " fries??!!!" Fries??!!!" 

So I had to explain to him that we paid in 

the first window and now we have to drive to the second window to get the food and he still seemed confused so he asked, "why?" So I told him, "because they don't want to mix the food with the money because that's just unsanitary," so again he asked, "why?!" So I told him, "because it's easier that way" and he asked, "why?" By now I figured he was just messing with me so I told him, it's so traffic can flow faster and the cars can just drive through and yet again he asked, "why?" So by now I had no more answers to give and I just said, " because!" At which he replied, "why?" So again I said , "because" at which he replied, "why?" And we went on like this for about a minute, until he got confused as to who was saying why and who was saying cause? Hahaha, the whole time my husband was laughing at us from the front seat and telling me, he never thought he would ever hear that conversation?! We all laughed and in that instant, my whole mood changed to nothing but joy. It's crazy how a child changes everything.....until next time
