Papa, can we go outside?
No.
Why?
Because it's five o'clock in the morning. It's too early.
Why?
The sun hasn't come up yet.
Why?
Because the sun comes up later.
Why?
Well, the earth goes around, and when it turns a certain amount, the sun shows on the horizon.
Why?
I don't know.
Why?
Why don't you know Papa?
Because I didn't pay attention in school. Okay? I didn't listen in class.
Why?
Because I was high all the time.
I smoked too much pot.
Why?
I didn't think it would matter.
Why?
I just figured my life would come together on its own. But then I met your Mom, and you came along, so now I work at the muffler shop.
Why?
Well, it's too late for me to pursue a career now, and since your Mom has a job with benefits, I stay home and I take care of you because what I make is pretty much just a joke.
Why?
Well, the service economy replaced manufacturing, and there's no real jobs in America anymore.
Why?
We had good jobs for a while, but it's just because we were lucky, and now we're unlucky.
Why?
It's just the way it goes.
Why?
Cause God is dead and we're alone.
Okay.
