Because I said so 

A thought-terminating cliché used by authoritarian parents to suppress disobedience and critical thinking in children. Often most seen in Asian parents.

Child: Can I get a switch for my 14th birthday? All my friends have one and I wanna play with them at recess

Parent: No. No fun allowed in school, only study.
Child: But why?!
Parent: Because I said so!!!
Some guy sitting next to them in public: *slow claps* Wow! What an answer! I'm sure your child is totally going to believe that one!

because honestly 

1. The assertion just made, while seeming controversial to the masses, is a clear logical extension of the belief subset shared by all relative non-fools (including all present company).

Because I can 

An absolute and valid verbal justification of any action that is seemingly without a clear goal or purpose.
This expression is used to quickly make someone realize that the action in itself is so mindnumbingly cool and awe-inspiring that a purpose is no longer necessary.

Me: Why did you do it?
Katarina: Why? Because I can
