Most kids start asking "Why" around Micah's age. Micah, however, plays dumb and asks "what?" For example, he's been taking his dishes from the lunch table to the kitchen sink for months now and yet here's our conversation today.
(I glance at the table and see a lonely bowl and cup)
Me: Micah, take your dishes to the kitchen.
Micah: What dishes?
Me: The bowl and cup on the table.
Micah: What table?
Me: The kitchen table.
Micah: What kitchen?
Me: Micah! In the kitchen. The Kitchen! Take your bowl and cup and put them on the counter.
Micah: What bowl?
Me: The red bowl. Put it on the counter.
Micah: The counter? What counter?
Me: The one on top of the dishwasher.
Micah: What dishwasher?
Me: Micah, you know where the dishwasher is. Now go.
Micah: What go?
Sounds cute, right? Well not when you get it all day. And definitely not when you're in a hurry.
"Get in the car."
"What car?"
"Fix your shoe."
"What shoe?"
"Drink your milk."
"What milk?"
The restraint I'm using to refrain from screaming, "THAT one! That one right there in front of your face!" is slowly melting my brain.

WOW so not looking forward to the Why/What stage.
What boys young and old will do to avoid their chores. ;)
