"Because" Katy Said So

Katy's current favorite answer to most questions is, "Because." Sometimes, it's said with ambivalence, sometimes it's said with sass- such a "teenager" response for my little two and a half year old toddler!

Mommy, "Why did you just leave that toy in the middle of the floor?"
Katy, "Because."

Mommy, "Why didn't you sit by your friends at story time?"
Katy, "Because."

Mommy, "Why aren't your shoes on, yet?
Katy, "Because."

Mommy, "Why did you just close that door on your cousin?"
Katy, "Because."

Mommy, "Why did you spill that milk all over the table/floor/chair?"
Katy, "Because."

Mommy, "Why are you jumping on the bed?"
Katy, "Because."

Mommy, "Katy, why are you not asleep, yet?"
Katy, "Because."
