Questionable

Quote By Poet "The word Why makes the world go round."                                      

When we first start to speak,
we first learn to say three words.
Mommy~daddy and no,
that was not for me.
My first word was very questionable,
since it was why.
I asked and wanted to know about why,
why was very important to me as a toddler and child.
Guess some things never change,
I still use the questionable word why all the time.

Linda Alice Fowler April 3, 2023 at 6:58 AM 'Why' can drive an adult crazy when it is the response by a child to everything said. There is also some benefit in problem solving with 5Y.
