Because I Said So": The Ultimate Parenting Trump Card

"Because I Said So." You know, that phrase parents whip out when they're cornered in a debate with no logical escape route. This normally means that they run out of arguments, patience or energy to have a proper battle. Cowardly, they use their "grown up card" to shut down our intelligence. Aren't they suppose to nurture in us an inquisitive mind? How about the values of democracy they constantly praise to others while they secretly run a ruthless autocracy. 

The Ultimate Mystification
Imagine this: You're in the middle of a heated discussion with your parents about why curfew should be extended. You've laid out your logical arguments, presented your case, and even thrown in a few puppy-dog eyes for good measure. But then, it happens. Your parent utters those four words like a wizard casting a spell, "Because I Said So." Cue the internal teenage eye-roll.

Here's the thing about "Because I Said So": it's like a parental magic trick that they've all learned at some secret parenting academy. When this phrase is invoked, it's as if your parents have pulled a rabbit out of a hat and the debate is over. No more arguments, no more discussions—just a baffled teenager left wondering what just happened.

The Teenage Resistance

Of course, as teenagers, we're not ones to go down without a fight. "Because I Said So" is like a red flag to a bull. It's almost as if they're daring us to challenge their authority. We might even consider launching a counterattack, citing constitutional rights we don't actually possess.

The Ultimate Power Move

We have to admit, as infuriating as it is, "Because I Said So" is a bit of a power move. It's the equivalent of your parent saying, "I'm the boss here, and you'll just have to deal with it." It's a classic, and they know it works, which is why they keep it in their back pocket like a trump card.
