Most kids ask questions, and some ask so many and such deep ones that they are always in trouble.
They are generally the ones who refuse to be put off with the simplistic answers offered by busy adults-even if that adult is their rabbi. Artis was that kind of kid.

She wanted to reason with God over that passage, knowing that some of her family had not survived the Holocaust.
