“Go Ask Your Dad” and “Go Ask Your Mom”
The most confusing of parental rules. When you’re a kid, you felt like your parents simply did this to beat around the bush instead of just saying “No” flat out. As an adult, you’ve probably realized that (A) you don’t want to deal with every little thing your kids ask or say and (B) you don’t want to piss off your partner either! This is where grandmas come in handy.
“I Will Turn This Car Around.”
This one goes hand in hand with “Are we there yet?”
“Because I Said So.”
Ah, the most dreaded of things a parent can possibly say. The one sentence all kids hate, and the one sentence I’m sure we’re all still going to use when we have children of our own. This dumb phrase holds no meaning whatsoever, but it merely reinforces the dictatorial role of parents, who don’t even need to give any reason or logic to their decisions except for saying “Because I said so.”
