"Because I Said So"

While on my walk today I was pondering my intense hatred of the phrase, "Because I said so".  I'm throwing out a disclaimer to all that I am not judging you, your parents, your grandparents, your friends or anyone else who uses this phrase.  I am merely stating my opinon that the use of this phrase demonstrates one of two things to me and anyone who hears it, 1. I am superior to you and therefore don't have to tell you why I am doing or saying .... whatever and 2. I am too lazy and you are too unimportant and dumb to explain why I am saying or doing...whatever.  Who are we, really, that we are powerful enough to just "say so"?  And how long, really, does it take to give a short explanation of why?  I, personally, have never heard or read where Heavenly Father told us to do something "because I said so".  And isn't He really the only one who has the authority to do it?  If He doesn't give us a detailed description of why and what the consequences and blessings will be then He lovingly tells us that He will explain more later when we can understand but He hopes we will trust that He knows best for us and would never do anything that would hurt us or make us sad.  I have found that if I explain to my kids why I have made a decision or asked them to do something then they are much more willing to do it and will understand and remember why the next time.  They are also much better equipped to make decisions on their own if they know the why's and wherefore's of my decisions in those situations.  If they disagree with my decisions then we talk about it and they voice their concerns and I can better teach them.  I have also found that children are really never too young to explain things to.  Landon and Ava are only 2 and 3 and they already understand that touching Grandma's knives or hot stove will hurt them or that running out into the street will put them in harm's way by running the risk of being hit by a car.  It only takes a second to explain something to someone.  It's human nature to be more willing to obey or do something if we know why we are doing it.  The natural man is responsible for using the power play or the lazy excuse of "because I said so".  I'm not a psycho-therapist or a psychiatrist or a psy-anything and I could be wrong about this but,,, I'm not:)
