 Oh, how clever, it was an object lesson all along then eh.  

I can't believe that you think "Because I like too."  isn't a great reason to do tons of things.  Perhaps your kid says that because he doesn't know how better to express himself, doesn't mean it isn't a valid reason.
Why do or did you play Aces High?  Why parasail, why golf, why tons of things.
At least the Yanks have a 
choice in the matter.  You don't like the idea of carrying guns, well your and my governments don't give a damn if we do or don't.
Like that guy said, "Best lie back and enjoy it, it's going to happen anyway.".
