More personal experience for you

I know when I was a pre-teen, I would call my mom "stupid" out of frustration when she'd make a rule that I thought was unfair, then give me a non-logical explanation as to why she'd made the rule. I always questioned authority- not rudely or disrespectfully, but would just ask "why." I wasn't trying to be a smartass (like my dad would always accuse me of, which I also deemed as "stupid"), I honestly wanted to know the logic behind the boundaries that were set for me.
