Daddy, but why??
I often find myself trying to rationalize with my 4yr old. I’ve been doing this since she could speak. Of course I know you’re not supposed to, or at least not the way you would with an adult, but I do it anyway. She usually has this glazed looked on her face until I finish. At which point she simply asks me again why it is that I don’t want her to do whatever it is I’m trying to get her not to do. And the circle continues.
