“Because I said so.”

Like most intelligent people, I know that’s not a just and profitable answer… I’ve always seen it as one not wanting to take time to explain to their son or daughter why. They really do have a right to know: but then again, it can get annoying when it’s routinely asked…

On his arrival home from work I asked Duane to see if we had peanut butter for Herbie & Company. Glory and fun be from God, he asked me, “Why?” Then came this famous and usually parental line: “Because I said so.”

As I was making peanut butter sandwiches (leftover buns – we always have leftovers when there is just the two of us) I laughed gleefully as I threw these peanut butter bun sandwiches out to my squirrels!

Don’t feel I’m naughty here…
I was having fun! (Reluctantly perhaps, so was Duane.) He truly knew why I was kidding him!

The last time we went to Target two weeks ago he didn’t want to buy any because he thought we had some. Now comes two weeks later and he still thought we had some. Guess what? We didn’t.

I have to make certain Herbie & Company get their peanut butter sandwiches once in a while!

NOTE: to hear more about Herbie, my very beloved squirrel, if you haven’t read, Herbie In The Garage: A Squirrel Tale, from my book, Joy Stories, Volume One, I highly recommend it!

It’s lots of fun!
