"Because It Makes Me Happy"

D: "Son, what are you doing?"

Spiderman: "Nothing, Daddy."

D: "It doesn't sound like Nothing. Tell the truth. What are you doing?"

Spiderman: "I... was throwing blocks."

D: "Do you think that's a good idea?"

Spiderman: "Uh...."

D: "Is that what blocks are for?"

Spiderman: "Um... no."

D: "Then why are you doing it?"

Spiderman: "Because! It makes me happy."

D: "Yes. Well, I'm glad it makes you happy. But stop doing it."
