Saying of the Day: "What For?"

"Mommy, you stop? You stop, Mommy?"
"Yes, H, I stopped."
"What for?"
"I stopped to pick the turtle up out of the road."
"What for mommy? What for you put on side of road?"
"Well, the turtle was in the road and I didn't want it to get hit by a car."
"What for?"
"Well, being in the road is very dangerous. I didn't want the turtle to get squashed."
"What for?
"Well,  a car is big and dangerous and it could squash the turtle and it would be hurt."
"What for?"
"Cars just are dangerous. That's why we don't play in the road."
"For?"
"They are big and they move fast. That makes them dangerous."
"For?"
"They just are."
"For? You stop, Mommy?"
"Yes, H, we stopped."
"For?"
"We are at a stop sign."
"For?"
We are at the corner."
"For?"
"Well, we are on our way home and we have to turn since the road ends."
"For?"
"So we can go home and feed the kitties and Piper."
"For?"

{Insert topic here quickly followed by backseat question"What for?" or simpify using the time saving version "For?"}
