Yes, “Because I said so,” is a reason.
Someday you’ll hear those word come out of your own mouth, and you’ll finally understand what they mean.
They mean I’m too tired or distracted or frustrated to give you a better answer.
They mean I am your parent.
They mean trust me.
They mean I’ve been there, and done that.
They mean I know how this turns out.
They mean I always have your best interests in mind.
They mean I’ll never steer you wrong.
They mean I love you.
So listen to me, and JUST DO IT already!
Because I said so.
Ha! I laugh a little bit inside every time I say those words to my girls. Usually it is due to #1 on your list, but always because I love them. 🙂
I can’t tell you how many times I found myself saying this over the last few weeks. I finally get it!
