The 'Whys' have started.

Daddy, why does that horse have brown spots?

Mommy, why does she have red hair?

Daddy, can we sleep on those clouds?
I'm afraid not dear.
Why?
Well, those clouds are not strong enough to hold us up in the air.
Why?
Because they are made out of water?
Why?
Well, sometimes water takes that form instead of water like we can drink, or ice cubes you can hold.  ( I thought I should wait until she has high school chemistry before discussing the temperature and pressure points. )
Why?
Well, everything can be in one of many forms.  (Again, I have to hold off the physics discussion. )
Why?
That's the way it is, Hunny.
Why?

And so it goes.....
