why?

isn't this one of the questions we ask as a child..why is the sky blue? why is the grass green? why do birds lay eggs? why do I have to go to bed? why do I have to come inside when I am having so much fun outside playing? why, Mom, why?

sometimes as grown ups, we also ask that question why...we just don't understand something. we think we do, but then something happens and then there we are..wondering why.

we are then left to wonder why....
