Me: I don't know. Girl: Why don't you know? Me: Because I don't Girl (frustrated): No daddy, why don't you know? Me: Because I don't know everything. Girl (more frustrated): No!! Daddy, why don't you know? At that point I just make something up. :) Girl: Why is the blah blah blah?
Me: I don’t know.
Girl: Why don’t you know?

I agree with previous posters...we need an audio! We lucked out with Little Man, who managed to skip the "why?" phase however we are now stuck in the "director" phase. You know...the one where, while you are playing with him, he tells you what to say/do/etc and then gets mad when you say "Well you seem to know what he wants...why don't YOU just say it?" (similar to Louis CK's daughter and the hiding in the closet) How bad is it that he stomps around growling "You're making me CRAZY!!!"? That picture makes my uterus ache!

But somehow I don't think that's what you're going for. There's not a whole lot of professional projects where you can say a good motivator to get in shape is being scared of huge black men.

Why didn't you let me know your friends were coming over before I came downstairs in my underwear? Why didn't you answer your phone when I called you five thousand times?? Why? Why!!) When he was little, I remember first giving an explanation, then asking him "why do you think that's like that?". It certainly shut him down faster.

He is convinced I know all the answers because if I tell him I don't know he will repeatedly say, "Tell me, tell me!" He asked me the other day how gas makes the car go. So I gave him a rediculously detailed explaination involving fuel injectors and pistons, etc. That must have been acceptable to him because he just said, "Ok, Mommy."
