Because.

As far as Grant is concerned, "Because" is a perfectly good answer to anything.

Me: "Grant, do you want to go to school today?" Him" "No, Because."

Me: "Grant, why won't you stay in your bed?" Him: "Because I don't want to because."

Just now at this very moment he said. "Mom can I lay on your bed and drink some chocolate milk because?"

You can pretty much assume every sentence he says will have the word "because" in it somewhere. It's kind of funny but can also get frustrating when you really are tryng to figure out what or why. If he is crying and I ask him why he's crying...it's always just "because". I wish I had a way to record his little voice saying it and put it on here. It's so matter-of-fact.

Anyway...today was Crazy Hair Day at school so we used blue hair gel on his hair. I think it turned out pretty cute. His best little buddy at his school did his hair spikey with blue gel too...so they matched. I can't help but think of that song that goes, "I'm blue blah-da-dee-da-da-dye--blah-da-da-dee-da-da-dye...." Does anyone else know that song?
