As a parent, I have found no problem in using 'because' as a valid response to a question. This response has gone undefeated, until this morning...
My Son: "Mom, can I have another treat?"
Me: "No."
My Son: "Why?"
Me: "Because."
My Son: "I think I learned in kindergarten that 'because' doesn't mean anything, unless it has a sentence behind it."
If he's able to use arguments like this and he's only in kindergarten, I think you and your husband have a lot to worry about in the upcoming years...
