Guess what? Guess what?!
No, seriously. You have to guess. Even though the possibilities are ENDLESS, you MUST GUESS. Don’t huff and puff at me, folks. I don’t write the rules, I just take orders from the one who does. In this instance, my daughter.
She started this little "game" just recently and I cannot WAIT for it to be forgotten about. I know patience is a virtue and all that crap, but seriously. Imagine this ALL FREAKIN DAY LONG:
Mommy, guess what?
What, Mar?
Mommy, you have to guess.
Just tell me. Mommy doesn’t know.
MOMMY. GUESS WHAT.
WHAT, MARIAH?
GUESS. YOU HAVE TO GUESS, MOMMY. GUESS WHAT GUESS WHAT GUESS WHAT?
Seriously! Where do you begin guessing? I’m not opposed to guessing ridiculous things all day long. But she just gets so damn MAD when I don’t automatically get it right. And don’t even THINK about asking for a clue to help guess. By the time we’re done yelling at each other calmly talking it through, we’re both annoyed. Which means one of us ends up in tears.
I’ll let you guess who.
I hate the Guess What game. I want it to VANISH from my household.
NOW, please.

Ugh, that sounds horrid… >_< … our daughter is in the phase right now of always asking “why”. Now, I always try to find an answer for her when she asks why - but sometimes it’s hard. You know? Or you just end up going in circles. You say put your shoes on. She says why. I say because we are going why. She says why. I say because we have to get some things. She says why. I say because we need some. She says why. I say because if we don’t get it we’ll go hungry. She’ll say why. I’ll say because she didn’t get her shoes on and we couldn’t go get what we needed. So I found a quick way to end it real fast. “Because Mommy said so” isn’t exactly the best phrase to use with her, so when she asks “why” again I just say either ask Daddy, and then he can deal with it
which is definitely the funniest thing ever. Or I tell her because I have absolutely no idea, and she just stops…pauses…says “oh”… and goes on her merry little way. Ha ha. Don’t you just love kids and their annoying phases! 
Hopefully she’ll grow out of it soon!

I’m sorry to hear that, Julia. That must be so frustrating. Maybe you can teach her a new game so she will forget about this one? Good luck!
