@kaylank92 I promised myself I’d never say “because I said so!” Hated hearing that as a kid and it was never a good enough reason for me. Cut to: me saying that in every other possible combination of words besides “because I said so!”
@kaylank92 For some reason when my kid was very young I got really into taking her Elmo plushie and doing a pretty flawless impression where I’d say “Elmo become cruise missile” and I’d launch it at her.
It turned into all kinds of violent scenarios. “Elmo become death, destroya of worlds,” or “Elmo cause nucleah wintah” or “Elmo do carpet bombing on civilian centah.”
The kid never reacted much but my wife and I found it highly amusing.
