When Did You Stop Liking Science?

As children, we are constantly exploring our surroundings. And we are always asking questions. Well, we mainly ask one question--over and over and over again.

That question?

"Why?"

Why is the sky blue? Why does the sun not come out at night? Why do I have to go to bed? Why do I have to get up? Why do I have to  eat broccoli?

When did we all stop asking "Why?"

Was it when your parents, out of frustration, yelled at you and told you to stop asking "Why?". Or was it that day in grade 6, when you asked your science teacher "Why do worms grow back when you cut them in half?" in the middle of a lesson about trees.

Why did you stop asking "Why"?

For many reasons most people stop questioning things around them at some point in their lives. 

Don't be that person.

Today, start asking "why?"
