How do you deal with children who keep asking why?

Tweet

Have you ever dealt with children who love to ask why? So much so it really leaves you with no answers and you get irritated. Like for example: "Why is the sky blue?" "Because of the light reflecting on the earth which give the sky a natural blue hue" "Why does the light reflect on earth?" "Because the sun shines on it" "Why is does the sun shine?" "Because the sun is a bright start that like a fire in the sky" "Why is the sun like a fire?" "Because of the gases that it is made up of" "Why is there gases in the sun?" "Because there are gases..." "Why?" "Because that is the way the sun is" "Why?" "I don't know already" "Why?" "I never studied it before" "Why?" "Arggghhhh~~~!" The never ending barrage of whys can really drive you nuts some times. And when you look at them, they some times do it just to irk you cos they ran out of questions to ask. So asking why seems to be the only way to keep you offering more information to them. Whether they understand them or not is another matter altogether. So, parents out there, how do you deal with an inquisitive child that refuses to stop asking why?
