And considering that Dan is an only child, those type tend to "grow up" faster.  (I should know!)  Besides that, I remember last year one of his favorite films (and number one on his Christmas wish list) was "The Royal Tenenbaums," which is also rated R.  Though it's got a UK rating of 15, not 18.  What does that mean though?  No admittance under 15?  Since he's still not 15 (and was then 12), and didn't yet have the DVD of it?  Could've had the video and wanted to replace it with the DVD I suppose . . ..
