Hey little sister who's your Superman?

HEARD ON THE NYC M23 CROSSTOWN BUS

My brother Ken: Hey BH, check it out, the sun is setting.

My nephew BH: Why?

Ken: Because our side of the planet is turning away from the sun.

BH: Why?

Ken: Um, because of the conservation of angular momentum from the formation of the Earth.

BH: Why?

Ken: Uh, because of the gravitational collapse of the pre-solar nebula.

BH: Why?

Ken: Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity?

BH: Why?

Ken: Hey, do you want a cookie?

    “cookie” Fuckin-A !
    I have been meaning for ages to suggest
    “IF YOU GIVE A MOUSE A COOKIE” for the cutest nephew eva.
    It’s a throughly entertaining story AND we learn about
    Cause and Effect.
    I am always giving the children in my family books, because
    I refuse to have my chillren growwing up thinking a book is just something you sit on at thanksgiving to make yourself taller

    Yes, the eternal struggle of the parents to not want to talk down to the kid, versus waiting for the “why” stage to be over.
