Meaning of Life

We all know how two-year olds love their "Why?"s and the Energizer Bunny is no different.

So I can't say I was shocked last night after rushing to his bedside following a torturous scream of "MOOOOOOMMMAAA!" his first word to me was, "Why?"

Sighing, I asked, "Why what, kiddo?"

"Why WHY?" came the sad, desperate question.

And really, how does one answer such a question?

    Why not?
