The new “why”

Colin isn’t so into the “why;”  Delaney was into the “WHY?”  That should be good new, right?  Not so much - Colin is into the new “why”: “What’s that?” and “Where’s ______?”

So now our conversations go like this:

Colin: pointing to a rock What’s that?

Me: What?

Colin: That!

Me: A rock.

Colin: Oh.

Colin: pointing to a dog What’s that?

Me: Where?

Colin: THAT!

Me: A dog.

Colin: Oh.

Colin pensively Where’s Gumpa?

Me: At his house eating lunch.

Colin: Where’s Dan-Dan [Gran Jan]

Me: At her house with Gumpa eating lunch

Colin: Oh.  Where’s Laney?

Me: Sleeping.

Colin: Sleeping?

Me: Yes.

Colin: Oh.  Where’s Gumpa?

Me: At his house eating lunch.

Colin: Where’s Dan-Dan?

Me: At her house with Gumpa eating lunch

Colin: Oh.   What’s that?

Me: What?

Colin: That! pointing into space, or perhaps at some random air molecule

Me: Where?

Colin: THAT!

Me: thinking fast Air.

Colin: Oh.
