The Girl is responding to absolutely anything with “because why?”
It's cute, for a while, and sweet, in its way, but eventually it's just annoying.
“It's time for bed.”
“Because why?”
“Because you need your sleep.”

“So you won't be tired tomorrow.”
“Because why?”
And so on. (To get the full effect, draw out the vowel sound in 'why' for several seconds.)
Eventually I fall back on “because that's how God set it up.” Chad asked for reasons for belief in God, other than “because God said so.” I have one. Because it enables you to stop the endless series of “because why”s. Nothing like an uncaused causer to stop a conversation.
