Magic answer "Because…”




on a car ride to LOW’s, Easton:” mama, I want a bulldozer.”

Me: ”why, Easton?  You already have one! Why?”

Easton: “because…..!” (very seriously but no words after “because”)

Me:” because what?”

Easton: “because my favorite is bulldozer!”

(cannot help laughing but held myself) Me: “why?”

Easton:” because….” (very firmly, but still no words after “because”
(In 5 seconds) “because I want a bulldozer”

I guess at this stage in Easton’s mind, “because” itself is just the magic answer to all “why” questions.  I hope we all can do that.

  1. I think we can do that: a firm verbal "because" + the look of "don't you understand" can be powerful.
