Go Figure!

My 6 year old is constantly trying out new phrases. For example, just the other day, she says to me, "Go figure" out of the blue. "What does that mean, Mom?" Sometimes these simple questions that she asks quite often perplexes me. I mean, what exactly DOES "go figure" mean? How do I go about explaining American slang? I hedged a bit and finally asked where she heard that phrase. "Oh, I just thought it up in my brain," she says. Yes, her brain contains a plethora of surprising thoughts just waiting to be uttered. By the way, I never answered her question!
