what?

I have grown to, not dislike, but hate, the word "what". It seems to be my kids new word of choice, replacing the ubiquitous "why?" for most annoying question in a child's repertoire.

"Please put your shoes in the closet."

"What?"

"Did you brush your teeth?"

"What?"

"Where'd you put your backpack?"

"What?"

"What did you do at school today?"

"What?"

"Did you put up your crayons?"

"What?"

"Open the door."

"What?"

"Want a cookie?"

"Yes, please."
