Mama Said There'd Be Days Like This

Why, why, why?

Kids don't get to corner the market on asking the question "why?" Do they?

Why is it when you make a comment about your kids' fantastic behavior, they go out of their way the next day to prove you a liar?  Why is it that when you think you are out of toilet paper, and miraculoulsy find 5 rolls that you didn't know that you had, the baby will promptly dump 3 of said rolls into the toilet?  Why does the baby think that the toilet paper rolls need to be "wash-boarded" so that they are totally soaked, and shredded to boot?  Why does that darling baby then decide to take the sloppy mess *out* of the toilet and distribute it onto the bathroom floor?  Why is it that (simultaneously to the baby's antics) the 6 year old, when trying to brush her teeth, will use up 2.75 tubes of toothpaste in order to do so?  Why is it that said 6 year old will realize that she's made a big mess and will then proceed to use 2 1/2 bottles of brand new shampoo to "clean" the toothpaste mess from the sink?  Why is it that once it gets the least bit cool outside, the kids think they need to drink 500 gallons of hot chocolate, all in one day?  And use up 2 bags of mini-marshmallows?  And 2 gallons of milk?  And yet, will run outside in tank tops and barefeet?

Oh, I could go on, but you get the picture.  That was my day today.  Fun, huh?  So, I ask, Why? Why? Why?
