In the hands of an annoying toddler though, this is the grandaddy of stupid questions, because they say it (often times) to BE annoying, not caring at all abiout the response and asking it about things that have no why explanation.
"I'm turning off the tv."
"Why?"
"Because it's dinner time"
"Why?"
"Because its time to eat, the food's ready"
"Why?"
"quit asking that"
"Why?"
"Because you are just being an obnoxious shit and dont care about the answer"
"Why?"
"Shut up or i'll tear your doll's head off"
.............................
"Why?"
My kid never did this until my wife started nannying the kid in my "stupid, stupid people" thread a while back.
