This response is patently ridiculous and is exactly why we have so many kids who do not respond to authority. Since when does any adult have to give a child a reason for any command? This response places the child in the position of authority. This is completely upside down from biblical principle which very specifically states that a child should obey and reverses the Royal Ranger Code which specifies Obedience of those in Authority. God save us from those who would put children in charge of the world!!!
