Young me: Whyyyy?! Mother: That's why

UglyBolloxFace

WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN!!!

[insert Jackie Chan meme]

Any other inexplicably stupid stuff said by parents/guardians?

In before: "you're adopted"

El Weirdo

It's, "That's the why".

Thrill

Cos I said so, that's why.

DaveNoCheese

You're adop--- feck, nevermind!

lazygal

Cos I'm the parent, that's why.



Good thread for us parents to be to pick up tips on driving our children mad, thanks!

"If <insert someone's name here> jumped off the bridge, would you do it too?"

Looking back... was she asking me to kill myself?

"Because"

Words cannot express how much it pissed me off as a child when a grown up used just the word "Because" instead of answering the damn question.

Me: "Can <childhood friend> come out and play?"
Parent: "No"
Me: "Why not?"
Parent: "Because"
Me: "... go on... finish the sentence."

Yet when you ask why you have the child make his or her communion/confirmation its 'so they won't be only one left out':roll eyes:. Nice reasoning parents!

Basq

What about when you were bold, you were sent to bed hungry..

.. wouldn't fly nowadays!

Kids these days or either complete and utter wusses, or they must have fecking Childline on speed dial.

Woh, for a minute there I thought those two sentences were separate..which led me to believe that you hadn't met your father but then out of nowhere some man comes along and says "Pleased to meet you I'm Dad".

Me: "Why not?"
Mam: "Because"

You've got to eat all the carrots because of the starving Africans.

Im surprised I was never suspicous that they were trying to fatten me up and send me as aid to Ethiopia.

Pighead

Love the way they always think they know better than you right up to the day you turn 18.

Mammy: Hey there little Pighead. What are you studying there. Move over my little porkchop and let Mammy help you.

Pighead: Thanks Mammy but I don't think you'll be able to help me out with this one.

Mammy: Don't be so patronising you arrogant wee fcuker. Tell Mammy what you're studying.

Pighead: Ok. I have to investigate the effect of changing light intensity or carbon dioxide concentration on the rate of photosynthesis by the using of the pond weed Elodea.

Mammy: Mammy has to go now. Don't forget to tie your shoelaces if you're leaving the house.

There was a theme with me Ma's responses when we were looking for something:

"Mam can I have money for the shop?"
"I'll money your arse for ya!"

"Mam can I have burgers for dinner?"
"I'll burgers your arse for ya!"

"Mam can I play computer games?"
"I'll computer games your arse for ya!"



Wouldn't mind but me Ma would never even consider causing any sort of pain to us!! Never raised a hand to us in her life! It was just her way of saying 'Fook off' :pac:

On the same theme of phrases that confused you as a child, when in an arguement with someone slightly wittier than you, you always knew you were beat when they came out with the killer line: "I know you are but what am I?"

Me : "Your stupid"
Girl a year younger than me: "I know you are but what am I?"
Me: "Yeah but your fat"
Girl a year younger than me: "I know you are but what am I?"

Defeated everytime.

Mother - But rent is dead money
Me - So is paying €1200 a month for 30 years.

Mother - Why don't you learn to drive,
