Mama, where do blogs come from?

Most children at this age are entering into the big "Why?" phase. They use why for many purposes, the most common being an attempt to keep the adult nearest them talking for as long as they can possibly make them talk. I'm sure you've heard conversations like this, wherein the adult finally ends up saying "because I said so, that's why", or something of the like.

Instead, Nikolai has skipped right past the "why" and right on into the "Where does it come from?" phase. We've had some interesting questions so far such as:
"Mama, where do grapes come from?"
or, my most favorite:
"Mama, where does gas come from?"
I had some really interesting answers for that last one, resisting the nearly overwhelming urge to answer "from barking spiders." He's inquired about just about everything we encounter. Where do cars come from, where do bicycles come from, where do cats come from, etc.

I'm waiting for the inevitable inquiry as to the origin of babies.
