We were exploring downtown Greenville and came across this red sculpture. It is titled Untitled. When JDaniel and I stopped to look at it, I asked him what he thought it was. He replied “Ys”. It really does look like two ys stacked together.
This sculpture is sort of symbolic of conversations I have with JDaniel some days. They seem to be filled with a least two whys.
Here are a couple of examples:
Conversation One
JDaniel:“Why did we have to stop car?”
Me: “There is a red sign that says stop on it in front of the car”
JDaniel: “Why sign?”
Me: “There are a lot of cars on the road and if we didn’t stop we could hit one.”
JDaniel: “Mom, no cars here.”
Me: “The law says I have to stop anyway”
Conversation Two
Me: “What color is that car in the picture?”
JDaniel: “Orange car”
Me: “Close. What color is that red car in the picture?”
JDaniel: “Orange car”
Me: “Honey, that car is not orange. It is a red car.”
JDaniel: “Why?”
Me: “They decided to make it that color in the book.”
JDaniel: “Why?”
Out of the mouth of babes…..comes a lot of sweet conversations. JDaniel is very smart!
lol, i like the reasoning on the orange car…
oh that is just too cute … and it’s great that you have these little conversations recorded somewhere … they are such great little memories!
I like the stop sign conversation…so typical of a little one’s view point!
Very good observation with the two Ys.
It does look like two y’s~ very astute!
Thanks for this delightful Red post!
My heart just smiled at your JDaniels ???’s to you.
What lovely little vignettes of perfect times with little children you shared.
I loved this Red link!
A+
Brings back memories. I can still remember all the “why” days with my kids.
I loved this. Such funny, cute conversations. I forget how much they question everything! And he really does have a good eye, the sculpture does look like 2 y’s! Kat
So cute!!! Nice RED post. Why? because I said so. hee hee
too cute!! This is just precious!
Very precious red post! I am finding so many clever posts today! I am excited that I stopped by. Anne
Awww yes, the Y’s age 🙂
Loved this one too!
JDaniel’s questions will fill the years ahead. Have fun!
Clever red post! I can see WHY you selected this one. LOL

What a sweetheart.
Cee
So precious and so true! The toddler “whys” never seem to end.
Oh the whys. Great connection between the sculpture and the conversations!
Hi again!
Brings back all those “why” memories too!
Happy Alphabe-Thursday,
LOLA:)
PS Mine this time is HERE. Hope you’ve time to join me!
I wonder the same thing when I stop at an intersection and I’m the only car there. Loved his “why’ question. I don’t have kids but my mom says I loved that word and got on her nerves. lol.
Cool photo…..ka-yute conversation!!!!!
Aww, that is so cute 🙂 I love how children are so curious about everything. They’re logic is so simple that sometimes I can’t help but find it amusing. Can’t wait till E starts to talk so we can have conversations like this too 🙂
I had three sons so there were many conversations like that for many years…then, for awhile, they didn’t converse at all. Now, I can hold decent conversations with them!
Goofed up my Mr. Linky somehow – never went to bed tonight so, probably that’s why; you can find me at:

At 65, I’ve done it! My poetry book – Life’s Journey by Carmen Henesy – is out on Amazon!
( Poems about the things that have been important to me in my journey through life, some humorous, some sad, some that may have meaning to you as well )

Funny 😉 Kids and perception…quite cool…Peace
Ha Ha…wonderful post!! Love how you tied the two Y’s with, life with toddlers!!
Oh! the ‘why’ stage always had me crying “why why why?”
cute cute post.
He’s pretty smart, already asking the greatest philosphical question of all time and he’s only two!
It could also be I – L – L, if you look at it from a different angle. 🙂
That is too cute! This is what the 5 year old that my daughter is babysitting said today: ”If you ever see the Fountain of Youth, don’t drink from it. It’s disgusting. And it doesn’t work either”
Oh, the Why conversations! Cute red find.
I really love the age of question after question. So cute.
And that is one odd art object. Good one!
=)
I wonder why they designed the sculpture in that shape. Uh oh, now I sound like JDaniel!
Beautiful and innocent post…you and Daniel have a happy Red week….bkm
Such a sweet post! I remember those why days well! What a wonderful phase of life! Thank you for your delightful comment on my post. It made me smile and laugh out loud. I really needed that!
Those ‘why’ questions always get me. Usually I end up saying… I don’t know, ask Dad. 🙂
Cutest little stories ever! The why’s of childhood are just plain precious…whether they are orange or RED!
Happy RED Day!

I so remember the “Why” years with my kids. Why, why, what what why why….oh my.
I like it when there are sculptures and they are not defined. I bet everyone that looks at it sees something different. Cool. The Why faze sometimes it can make you go crazy lol.
That’s great that he’s so inquisitive! I love the way you tied in the sculpture with you son! To me, the sculpture is a guy running!
Those are such cute conversations. We are in the “why” stage too. I love hearing what is going on in their heads, they never seize to amaze me at how much they understand and absorb!
What an awesome post! I love JDaniel’s answers!
I feel like we are stuck in the why phase of life. He has question after question after question. In the example of conversation two, if my son asked me why about the car not being orange, and red was not a good enough answer I might say something like, “Because they wanted it red.” or if there is a ? like, Why is that a door? I will possibly say, because it is not a window.
I remember those days when my baby always asked “why?” Now, he’s all grown up, and I miss those days. Thanks for stopping by my blog.

Ooooohhhh so sweet! Out of the mouths of babes;)!
Enjoy!

pleasant red post.
love the “Y’s”…baby’s fav words…why? MINE!!!
NOOO!!!!! whatdat????
This is a blog hop…you are expecting people, get rid of word verification. do not make your visitors jump through hoops
My eldest (now 22) was forever asking why! People would say just tell him anything but that wouldn’t do – he needed real answers! Great post for red!
Too cute!
Just stopping by from Jenny’s Party!! I am late getting around to everyone! Too funny! I have been babysitting my 2 year old nephew and he says it all the time. I answer once and then I just say “why not”? That usually stumps him!!
So sweet. It reminds me of the kind of conversations I used to have with Erik and still have with Elisabet. Why? Why? Why?
Wonderful shot of the red sculpture – ‘The Two Ys’!
You are very observant and use what you see!
Best wishes,
Anna
