Amusing conversations with my nephew, TJ, today.
TJ: Patch is hungry.
Me: No, Patch is just being greedy.
TJ: What does greedy mean?
Me: Greedy means you are not hungry but you want to eat.
TJ: What if you are hungry but don't want to eat?
Me: That's just being difficult.
TJ: ... What if you are hungry and you want to eat?
Me: ...
TJ: That's being easy (looking very pleased with himself).
...
TJ's Mummy: Do you want some Smarties?
TJ: Yes.
TJ's Mummy: Here you go (pouring Smarties into TJ's bowl). How many have I given you?
TJ: One ... two ... three ... four ... five ... six (counting out loud).
Me: If you tell Mummy six, she won't give you any more; if you tell Mummy one, she will give you more (whispering).
TJ: One.
TJ's Mummy: I know I've given you more than one, so don't tell me one. If you tell me one, that means you're lying to me and I don't like that. So tell me again, how many have I given you?
TJ: ... Five.
:D
