When my kids do something they shouldn\u2019t and end up with a negative natural consequence, I will usually say \u201cThis is Why\u2026\u201d \u00a0and then take a picture (if you missed my series of\u00a0“This is Why…”<\/a> moments, be sure to check it out for a good laugh!) \u00a0Now Sugarplum has picked up on the habit but doesn\u2019t quite understand how it works so her use often cracks me up.<\/p>\n

The first time I noticed her using it was as we loaded up in the car.\u00a0 She\u2019s become very stubborn about buckling herself with no help but was struggling so I offered to move her dress away from the buckle for her which prompted her to exclaim \u201cThis is why I don\u2019t wear clothes!\u201d<\/p>\n

Since that first occurrence, she\u2019s had many \u201cthis is why\u2026\u201d moments in just a few days.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve taught the girls to put their own coats on by putting their arms in and flipping it over their head, but this method only works if the coat is upside down to begin with.\u00a0 Usually I hold the coat upside down for them but she did it herself and it ended up on upside down and when hubby pointed it out to her, she said \u201cThis is why I don\u2019t wear a coat!\u201d<\/p>\n

And at the park one day, while working on her flips for gymnastics and getting stuck over and over again (because she wouldn’t let go of the bar after flipping!) she finally exclaimed “This is why I don’t go to the park!”<\/p>\n

During our recent trip to Naples, we played mini golf and after getting stuck out in a downpour and getting soaking wet, when we loaded up in the car I was surprised when she said \u201cThis is why we don\u2019t do mini golf, because the car gets too hot!\u201d (I expected her to say something about the rain and having to take her wet shirt off.)<\/p>\n

Then one morning I went into the girls\u2019 room to find them arguing about whether Honeybun\u2019s dresser door should be opened or closed and Sugarplum exclaimed \u201cThis is why I don\u2019t wake up!\u201d<\/p>\n
