Daily Prompt response: Or

by rugby843, posted in Bladder cancer

It’s a challenge raising children. If my mom had to tell you twice, she might add “(do) this or else”.  Or else what? was never an answer for us. We did not talk back to our parents, ever. Well, except at night when she would tell my sister and me she didn’t want to hear another peep out of us. Of course we had to say “peep”!  She never got upset over this, she knew we were just being funny. I only remember one time I sassed my mother. She was washing dishes at the kitchen window, had her back to me. I asked to do something and she said no. Not realizing she could see my reflection in the window, I stuck out my tongue. Suddenly a wet dishrag hit me in the head. I deserved it and never did it again. My grandkids when smaller, thought it was funny to say “why not” if I said no to something. Sometimes you just have to pull out the old faithful, “because I said so”. Yes, ashamed to admit it, but occasionally it is the correct answer and please don’t argue!

  2. Haha 😂 no argument there. Dear Son is still in the “why” stage, which I am enjoying. Definitely, we will need to think about strategies for the “why not” stage. Thank you for the post and have a wonderful weekend. 😀
