Why Oh Why?

The other day we went to Barnes and Noble. Dessa played with a little girl in the children's book section and then the little girl had to leave with her mom. Dessa and I waved good-bye and my toddler asked me, "¿Donde va ella?" I told her in Spanish that the little girl was headed home.
Dessa asked, "¿Porque?"
I told her because she was hungry and wanted to eat.
Dessa asked, "¿Porque?"
I told her because she had worked up an appetite playing.
Dessa asked, "¿Donde esta su papa?"
I told her, lying, that he was at work.
Dessa asked, "¿Porque?"
I told her because he had to make money.
Dessa asked, "¿Porque?"
I could go on forever. This is what my days are like now.
Do you have a limit on how many times you'll respond to a question? I want to encourage her curiosity but I can only take so much. Someone, please tell me it ends!
