The "Why?" Phase

Lights up on a little girl sitting at
A table with her mother, eating
Dinner. She looks at her plate
With a puzzled look.

Girl
Mommy?

Mother
Yes?

Girl
Why are these plates round? Why can't they be square?

Mother
They make square plates, honey. We just don't buy them.

Girl
Why?

Mother
Because. We just don't buy them.

Girl
But why?

Mother
Because I like the round plates.

Girl
... Why?

Mother sighs. Lights down
