Because I Have To

Whenever I ask Mya not to do something (hit her brother, walk around with a lollipop etc) her constant response is "but, I haaaave to".

If challenged with a "who told you that you have to", she quips "me".

If questioned why? "Because".

Lucas has adopted this approach. When I told him not to jump over his sister, his reply was "But I have to because she is there." Deep.
