Yes!! Same with my two. They just don't accept "because I said so." They behave much better when they have an answer to "why." From a parenting perspective sometimes I stick to my guns with the "because I said so" and I tell them: "I could tell you why, but sometimes in life you just don't get to know, so you better learn to deal with that!" (Ah, life. ;p )

So true with my DS too! Actually, once my DS realizes/feels that most of the time a person will explain and tell him why, he trusts them enough to accept when they can't or won't due to time, energy ect... it's like a trust thing. But he will revisit the issue with you when he catches you not busy and more willing to chat and debate... LOL
