Because I said so....

Remember when you were little and your mom would order you to do or not do something? When you'd ask why, the response was always, "Because I said so!" I hated that response. I swore I'd never do that. Umm, yeah, I lied...

Me (during bath time): "Julian did you put soap on?"
Julian: "No, I don't want to."
Me: "You have to."
Julian: "My friend Junior said he doesn't use soap."
Me: "Really? That's interesting. Use the soap."
Julian: "Why? Junior doesn't have to!"
Me: "Well, I don't have to smell him. I have to smell you and you have to use soap."
Julian: "But why?"
Me: "Because soap makes you clean and smell good."
Julian: "But why?"
Me: "Because that's what people have to do to get rid of  stinky germs."
Julian: "But why?"
Me: "Because germs make you sick."
Julian: "But why?"
Me: "Because getting sick is not good."
Julian: "But why?"
Me: "BECAUSE I SAID SO!!!!!"
