    I love this because it's both childish, but is more than a kid going through a 'why' phase; something I definitely went through and I don't think I ever outgrew. I could relate to this because I have younger siblings and sometimes I wonder what kind of people they're going to be, like you do with your nephew when he asks why. I love the conformists challenging and the constant 'Will he?' questions because it really drove the point home. I just loved this altogether and I sorta wanted to go around replying with 'Why?' to everyone again. tehe

    This is really interesting. I like the comparison between what adults perceive as "childish" or "nonsensical" behavior and what adults actually do. Your repetition of the, "Will he?" questions is a very effective technique in showing your own curiosity as mentioned in the story. My favorite line would definitely have to be the one that challenges conformists. Very well done!
