When I was a kid and asked my mum "why?" too many times, she would say "Y is the crooked letter of the alphabet". I would immediately shut up and ponder the deep meaning behind it. Y is crooked? Asking why too much is you being crooked? What? I eventually asked her what it meant and she said it didn't mean anything, it just got me to be quiet
My mom pulled a similar thing. When we'd get in the car and I'd ask "where are we going?" She'd say "buffalo raceway." I didn't know what that was but it sounded awesome....until we just ended up at the grocery store. Took me too long to realize we were never going to see a buffalo race.
