There is a difference between saying "because that's just how it is" (semantic stop sign) and saying "because of reasons that you can't understand yet, but will when you grow up". How do you make sure you are saying the second, and do you think your children understand that?
Eventually you do need to come to a stop sign, because you shouldn't always ask 'why' one more time even though you could.
Once you've gotten down to bedrock physics seems like a good time to stop. There are better wordings than the one you provided.
