Free advice, worth every penny you paid for it:  It is hardly ever a good
idea to ask people "why" questions about their behavior, unless your goal
is to erect or reinforce walls between yourself and them.  Aside from the
fact that it may be based on a false premise, the question rarely
accomplishes anything other than fostering resentment.

You'll find, if you haven't already, that this advice is especially
valuable in relationships with children and spouses.
Well, spouse and child are out of luck then, because I am going to ignore your advice. If either Sonja or Tom does something I think s/he should not have done, I am definitely going to ask why s/he did that.
