I had no idea that a human being can ask the phrase "what are you doing Mama" 396 times in the span of a minute. But that is what my toddler can do. Quite some feat isn't it? And maddening? Oh yeah. Here is a typical 2 minute conversation between me and Jack lately:
Jack: What are you doing Mama?
Me: Changing your diaper.
Jack: What are you doing Mama?
Me: Taking your pants off
Jack: What are you doing Mama?
Me: Taking your diaper off.
Jack: What are you doing Mama?
Me: Wiping your butt
Jack: What are you doing Mama?
Me: Still wiping the poopies off your butt.
Jack: What are you doing Mama?
Me: putting new diaper on.
Jack: What are you doing Mama?
Me: putting your pants back on
Jack: What are you doing Mama?
Me: Going absolutely crazy!
You get the idea. Oh and not only is the what are you doing question going on constantly, it is now flavored with the Why question.
Jack: What are you doing Mama?
Me: washing the dishes
Jack: Why?
Me: because they are dirty
Jack: why?
Me: because you made them dirty
Jack: what are you doing Mama?
Yeah that is the main topic of conversation around here lately. Aren't you jealous?

You have much more patience thaqt II do. Mine would go something like this.
"Changing your bum.
Changing your Bum,
CHANGING YOUR BUM!!!"
I don't really recomment that technique!LOL but here's one you could try.
Turn it around and ask him " What IS Mommy doing?" It often works to curb the questions.
Good luck
LOL Lgirl! I did try that and it ended the questions for about 5 seconds and it started up all over again. Aye Aye Aye. When does this phase end by the way?
I could have written this exact post. My kiddo does the exact same thing with the exact same questions. Drives ya batty!
Once they hit Pre-K Then they don't ask what you're doing they tell you what to do....
