A conversation today between Jake, his best buddy from down the street (both age 4), and me (not 4):
Jake: “It’s true, in real life, for real!!!”
His little friend, A, to me: “Why does he always say that?”
Me to her (A): “I don’t know. You should ask him.”
A to Jake: “Why do you always say that?”
Jake to A: “I don’t always. Only when I’m not lying.”

What is it with 4-5 year olds? I used to have kids ask me: “Why does S like spaceships so much?” and other similarly phrased questions. I reply the same way you did, “Why don’t you ask him that yourself?!”
Hsien: They probably ask us because they know we’re the moms and moms know everything.
