Why?

I've mentioned before that I am a "manny" for 3-year-old twins. I find it totally fascinating--and sometimes rather funny--to watch the 3-year-old mind at work. For instance...

We were in a building today when boy-twin saw a woman going into the restroom. He asked "You have to go potty?"

Now, it's funny enough that he would ask this question, but when she said yes, I thought his response was even better: "Why????"

It's his big question at three: everything has to be justified, even things that don't need to be justified (I wonder what he'd say if, next time he tells me he has to potty, I question the why and wherefore of it?) or things that have already been explained.
