Toddlers are curious. They are constantly exploring the world around them with awe and wonder.

• “Why is grass green?”

• “What’s lightning?”

• “Why do we have snot?”

• “Why do we die?”

• “Why do only some foods stain?”

• “Why do I yell when I get mad?”

These are just some of the questions Everly has asked in the past week. Her quest — to make sense of the world around her. Her willingness to explore and uncover truths and possibilities is constant.

Unfortunately, curiosity is a trait that gets conditioned out of us.
