You know, as a child when I would ask my mother why I couldn't do something or had to do something, I always hated when she would respond with "Because I said so". Always seemed so unfair, it is a non-reason really. Funny how age changes the perspective on things. I myself do not have children yet, though I do have many close friends with kids who I am around a lot..... I have to say, as an adult, seeing the trouble children can get into and cause, "Because I said so" now seems to me to be a perfectly reasonable response in many situations. Just sayin'
