because I said so...

Lately this seems to be the perfect answer for every "why" that my 5 and 3 year old daughters throw at me. "Why can't I have fruit snacks for breakfast?" "Why can't I stay up all night?" "Why do I have to be nice to my sister?" ...Because I said so, is all it takes sometimes. Any other complicated answer I may give to these questions and more would most likely result in more whys. "Because I said so" is simple. It works. And I'm using it until it doesn't anymore!
