Evan is a maniac these days. When he's not asleep he bounces off the walls. While talking up a storm. Today he said "adios" to the person who collects Vivian from the car at school. He repeats everything that he hears when I talk to my dad in Bangla. He dances and runs and pretends to eat us. He sings. He hugs tightly and says "I wov you too". In other words, he's just too cute for words. Except when you want him to do anything.
Evan, hurry up.
Why?
Because you are late for school.
Why?
Because you took too long to eat breakfast.
Why?
Because you are a freak.
Why, dada?
And if you ask him anything, you still get the short end of the stick.
Evan - why are you not putting on your shoes?
Because.
That's it. Never anything more. And if you try, you are in trouble again. As in:
Evan, "because" is not a real answer.
Why?
