Free people ask questions. Although the custom is that the youngest at the table asks, tradition instructs that all must ask:

Ma Neeshtana ha-laila ha-zeh meekol ha-laylot? 

Why is this night of Passover different from all other nights of the year?

Asking questions is an important part of the Seder. Everyone at the table is encouraged to ask not just the questions listed in the book, but whatever question comes to mind during the Seder. The Seder is designed for distraction, digression, and discussion. So, if we don’t finish the whole thing tonight...there’s always tomorrow, or next year! What would be your four questions?
