I'm the Mommy that's why!

This is a phrase a mother uses to assert herself over her children. In one simple sentence she shows dominance over her offspring and reminds her children that she does does not have to explain herself or her decisions to them. This is a phrase used by a mom when her child... A.) Has done something wrong and mom is telling him or her to stop. B.) Is about to do something wrong and is caught and mom tells him or her not do it. C.) Is asking for something and Mom says, "No!". In all of these instances the child would more than likely repeat this phrase, "But why"! In the beginning the mother may say, "Im the Mommy that's why", but usually the mother will say no several times until she feels like she going to explode.
