The Confusion of a 3 Year Old

Hayzey was being a bit naughty a few nights back (I should probably tell the truth and let you know she was being very naughty) and I was getting somewhat frustrated with my inability to get her to listen - let alone respond to anything I was saying in a meaningful fashion.

Mustering up all of my adultness I knelt in front of her and said "You're being very naughty. I don't want to yell at you but if you keep being being naughty you're going to be in a lot of trouble."

She considered this for 2-3 seconds and then came back with "Why?"

I asked "Why what?"

Her reply was "Why?"

I'm still not sure if she meant why was she being naughty, why do I not like yelling at her or why would she be in trouble for being naughty.
