Why? Why? Why?

The incessant "why" conversations have started.  I honestly didn't expect these until maybe Brooke was 5 years old?  She asks "why?" about everything!
 - Why is a joey called a joey?  (baby kangaroo)
 - Why is January called January?
 - Why is a toothbrush called a toothbrush?

The questions continue...requiring a great deal of patience, as every answer elicits another "Why?"

She also likes asking (obvious) questions.  Like "What is this on my head?" (answer: a barrette), "Who is that?" (pointing at Maddie), etc.  That continues on and on as well...

I have fun with it by responding with goofy answers..."What is that?" (she points at a bird), and I respond, "Is that a giraffe?"  and she giggles and giggles.

Also, "why don't you name him?"  We give everything a name, all day long.  The lady on the cereal box, the doll, the mail lady, the green pepper, etc.

Note, you may have noticed limited pictures of Brooke.  She's suddenly become "camera shy," or rather, "camera defiant" in her 2 year old tantrum ways.
