    Keep arguing with your mother like that during her ironing and she’ll distractedly burn a hole through the shirt.

    Part of the sentence:“Because I said so”.

    Some understandable but dangerous (very risky) responses:

    “But mom, I asked for one GOOD reason.”

    “Because why?”

    “But all the other kids are going.”

    We raised our girls better. They got bored to death with the explanations, but they knew why.

    You’re also a Plugger if you remember your mom ironing shirts. “Permanent Press” debuted in 1964, an invention of chemical researcher Ruth Rogan Benerito. Originally, it was a blend of two parts polyester and one part cotton. I remember getting started on ironing doing my Dad’s handkerchiefs. When I could keep them ‘square’, I graduated to shirts. We didn’t ‘do’ the sheets. We hung them on the line. They always smelled great! [If you try that most places now, you definitely don’t get that same ‘fresh air’ smell.]

    The full sentence in my house was “Because I said so”.

    In our household we used full sentences, it was because I said so.

    If we wanted something, we better have our statement fully thought out before we spoke. My mom was reasonable, but she wanted all the relevant information in all one shot. She did not want to have to drag it out of us. If she needed to ask more that two questions, the answer was usually “no”. If we wanted to go somewhere, we needed to provide – why, where, with whom, when, how would we get there (asking for a ride was ok), how would we get back (again asking for a ride was ok), were we paying for ourselves or would we need money (and how much), how long would we be gone, and, if needed (depending on age) would an adult be with us? She wanted us to Think things through and make sure we really wanted to go. There were times that once we thought things through we realized we really DIDN’T want to go. LOL

    Been there. Done that. Mom had the “Because” down cold. Forget about asking Pop. His ex-Marine’s “NO” was enough. The same line worked just fine on our kids and grandkids.

    My mother always said “Because I said so” in such situations. Rather emphatically, in fact.
