Kim Kardashian is no stranger to the word "famous." In fact, her husband, Kanye West released an entire song about it.

But despite her numerous photo shoots, magazine interviews and popular reality television show, when asked by a child why exactly she is so famous, Kim could not come up with an answer.

For years, many have wondered exactly what the Kardashian's claim to surprisingly durable fame is, and now it seems as though this question also eats at Kim, at least when she's seemingly in on the joke.

A fearless little boy named Sid sat down with Kim to conduct one of the most challenging interviews she's ever done. Lucky for us, it was recorded and shared on Snapchat.

The ruthless kid got right down to business, immediately firing the tough questions at the dinner table.

Question 1

Sid: "Why are you in magazines?"

Kim: "I don't know, cause I like magazines."

Question 2

Sid: "Are you famous?"

Kim: "Um, I don't like to use that term."

Question 3

Sid: "How are you famous?"

Kim: "That's up for question, too."

While Kim gave us very little useful information to work with aside from the fact that she likes magazines that feature her, Sid's mom took it upon herself to answer the question.

She concluded that Kim Kardashian is famous because "she's got a big booty."

Class dismissed.
