Soooo.....

I very much dislike questions that start with "Why", because usually it's a question like:

"Why did you throw your plate on the floor?"

Or worse, "Why did you sit on your brother's head?"

Or worst of all, "Why did you teetee in your panties?"

Rarely do I get a "Why don't we go get you some ice cream?" or "Why don't we go to Chick-A-Lay?"

So when I hear a question directed at me and it begins with "Why...", I just go ahead and get my response ready. My go-to answers are:

"Soooo, you wanna watch Nemo?"

Or another goodie, "Soooo, you wanna go swing?"

Or my fav, "Soooo, you wanna go to Kroger?"

I think diversion is the best tactic for avoiding the real question. It doesn't always work, but I am always looking for new ways to stay out of trouble, so let me know if you have some other suggestions.
