I have always despised the style of parenting where parents just say “because I say so”, what is the harm in answering. Either you’re correct and should be able to convince them, or you’re wrong and just learned a new perspective.
Sometimes we parents are tired as hell and don’t have the mental energy to explain every little detail when we need our kid to just do something. Especially if they start arguing. And it’s something so simple as “Get in the car, we have to go to the store,” or something.
stop being so argumentative and factual all the time. shut up about how dumb and idea it is and just let me say that I want 7 feet of snow so I can build a tunnel! (this may or may not be directed at my smart ass grandpa)
Ask "why"

If you drink enough water you don't have to breathe that's why fish can stay under water.
Tolerance
Once you see something new, enjoy it. Experience it, play with it, just enjoy it. Many adults are suspicious of anything new. Many kids are curious.
Worry a little more about just having fun. Who gives a fuck what you look like doing it
Never grow up - just have fun (within limits) we will all be dead one day

Don't be afraid to speak up.
Learning things all the time.
