Now that Tiffany was 5, she began Science and History with Don. But it wasn't the best time for Donnie.. Not since she learned the word 'Why'. She had just recently asked why the sky was blue.

"Sunlight reaches Earth's atmosphere and is scattered in all directions by all the gases and particles in the air. Blue light is scattered in all directions by the tiny molecules of air in Earth's atmosphere. Blue is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves."

"Why do we see it black at night then?"

"It all has to do with why the sky is blue in the day. Black is the default color - the color your brain interprets when your eye detects no light coming from a particular place in your field of vision. At night, light only comes from the stars and of course, the moon and planets of our own solar system. Since the light sources are so far away, and the intensity of the light is so low, you don't see the blue you see in the day. Instead, your eye actually gets to see the big empty spaces between the sources of light."

"Then how do rainbows work?" Tiffany crossed her arms.

Don sighed and explained to her "It's detraction of the light through moisture in the air."

"Okay, Daddy."

"Can we go back to Social Studies now?"

"Okay." Tiffany smiled and kicked her feet back and forth.

"Daddy, why did God make the Earth?"

Don groaned. This was going to be a long day.

W is for Why because kids just LOVE asking questions. No seriously, they never shut up. But you just got to love them. They are so cute!
