I have an impossible habit of asking why.
When I was a little girl, my mom used to get irritated while travelling anywhere.
The entire trip ,I used to look out of the window and ask her why .Why this and why that.
Why is the bus slow?
Why is the sky blue?
Why are we going by bus?
Why don’t we have more money ?
All perfectly great questions.Just not a good idea ,when you ask nonstop!
I had a never-ending list of whys.
This was before I started reading while travelling.
Then my mom had a better time.
Strangely enough my little sister hardly had any why’s!
My mom once told me there can’t be an answer to all your whys.
Guess what I asked her?
Why?
I almost got slapped!
My hubby too insists that all whys can’t be answered.
Since both these two important people told me ,not to ask uncomfortable whys,I have tried to get over that habit.
That’s my one new year resolution which keeps on being a failure.I am naturally curious.I have a long ,ever-expanding list of things to learn.But doesnt everyone have the same feeling ?
Of needing to know the answers.I have thought deeply about it .I think its my Aquarian trait.Absolutely not my fault ,right?
Unfortunately I know a few other Aquarian,They don’t suffer from why’s.
I really wonder why?
See there I go again.

Amrita, one of my son also is also a why king!
I mean, just like this: whys the sky blue?
And, not your fault 🙂
I grew up asking the same question and was told a myriad things including – “Don’t act smart” however, I have ensured that my kids get their answers and also explore answers…
thank you for this post…brought back memories
Thanks Mayura for the kind comments.Even I try to give my daughter her answers.
