How was your Father's Day?

I find that pushing back can sometimes be counterproductive with some...
"WHYYYYY!?"
My kid just ran into the corner of the bed and gave herself a charlie horse. She started screaming and shouting "why!?" like Nancy Kerrigan and my wife and I just had to laugh. Anyone else ever think it's kind of funny when your kid does something like that?...
