because...

I have a three year old child. All day long I'm bombarded with questions. Why? How? When? Why? What? Who? Where? Why?? While I love to talk to Michael and explain to him all the ins and outs of how everything works and why it is that way and how I know that to be true, there comes a limit to the how many times I can answer seemingly the same question over and over again. So I have picked up a statement from my mother-in-law. "Sometimes Mommies know thing."
So today, completely out of the blue, Michael comes to me and asks, "Why do Mommies sometimes know things?" So I used my other favorite question ending answer. "Because that's the way God made Mommies!"

My three year old self hates you right now. "Because that's how God made it" was my least favorite answer. I just wanted to know how the tv worked...

As a Mommie, I think both answer are awesome! I might even have to borrow them when CJ gets to that point. Keep the mommy-wisdom window open as long as possible...let them deal with their personal issues about that when they are grown (i.e. Andy).
