Why?
Qui-Gon blew another bubble out of the wand he held in his hand, and Obi-Wan chased after it, down the stone walkway of the gardens, and clapped his hands over it. It popped in a burst of thick fluid. He was two years old now, and his motor skills were developing quickly.
"Why dey expwode, Qui?" He asked, looking curiously at the sticky fluid on his palms. Qui-Gon blew another bubble.
"It's what they are made of, young one."
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"I dunno. Jus' why?"
Qui-Gon sighed heavily. "They just do, Obi-Wan." He blew a long stream of bubbles, and Obi-Wan chased after them, then stopped abruptly. He quirked an eyebrow in confusion. Qui-Gon laughed inwardly at the adult-like expression on the tiny youngling's face.
"Why dey fwoat, Qui?"
"Because they are so lightweight."
"Why dey wightweight?"
"Again, it's what they are made out of."
"Oh. Why dey made outta dat stuff?"
Qui-Gon sighed and closed his eyes. "They just are."
"Why?"
Qui-Gon opened his eyes. "Child, if you say why one more time, I'm going to turn you over my knee."
Obi-Wan's eyes widened. "Why?"
Qui-Gon growled, then rose from the kneeling position he had previously occupied. "To teach you in a lesson of respect and obedience, youngling."
"Why?"
"Because you could use a good spanking!" Qui-Gon exclaimed mock-angrily, taking a menacing step towards Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan giggled and took off running down the cobblestone path. Qui-Gon followed at a fast walk, allowing Obi-Wan to gain some distance before quickening his pace. He snatched him around the waist with his right arm, tightening his hand around Obi-Wan's left hip. With his left hand, he administered three gentle swats to Obi-Wan's tiny bottom.
Obi-Wan giggled his protest and squirmed in Qui-Gon's firm hold. Qui-Gon didn't let go, only tightened his grip. He turned the child towards him and looked him in the eye.
"Now, go find something useful to do." he said, a twinkle lighting his cobalt eyes. Obi-Wan blushed and a mischievous sparkle worked its way into his eyes.
"Qui?"
"Yes?"
"Why?"
