When kids are little their questions often involve the word why. "Why is the grass green?"-- "Why is the sky blue?"-- "Why do squirrels eat nuts?" The curiosity of children is unmatched and still somewhat adorable, yet somehow they manage to twist that word as they get older so much so that it gets to the point where you can hear it being whined in your head-- it goes kind of like the this: "Why can't I ride my bike across town to my friends house whose parents you have never met?!" or "Why can't I climb to the top of the 6 foot fence and jump?!" ---"WHHHHYYYY" Okay well they don't quite ask questions like that it is just what you hear in your head when they start whining the word in which I am no longer mentioning by name.
Its not that I don't understand that children need to know the reasoning behind some things its just that I can't understand having to argue about every little thing that I say no to. I mean every time I say no (which is often enough) its meet with this disbelief as if I am the worst mom in the world and then it is followed up by the whinny voice and the word which we shall not mention.
I know that it is a pipe dream but just for once can I have the answer no just accepted? I just want to know WHY, WHY, WHY I have to be questionnnnneeeeddddddddd!
