I always find the "why their son couldn't connect to the network that they as taxpayers helped pay for." arguement interesting. In that case, "I want to drive a cop car around town, or maybe I could fly a stealth fighter, or drive a tank. Or more pertinent to today, I want to use the school's snow blower to get my car out of my garage, and then drive the town's snowplow to make a path all the way to school.
