Waffle-gate or How You Know When Your Five Year Old Is Smarter Than You...

‎6:45 am. Nugget to VERY SLEEPY Mom: sooo mom, you know there's these monkeys with really big noses and lots of stomachs (Proboscis Monkeys).

MOM: huh, oh, uhuh...shhhh.

NUGGET: sooo....if I had lots of stomachs I'd have one for just pickles, one for regular eggs, one would be for breakfast burritos and one for cheerios and raisins...wait I want 16 stomachs...so how many do I have left

MOM: uhhh 12 I think...shhhhhhhhh

NUGGET: okay 12, soooo anyway..... (insert extremely long dialogue about various foods and mom making appropriate "paying attention" noises all the while trying to fall back asleep..unsuccessfully)

MOM: sighhhhh....why don't we get up now and make waffles

NUGGET: yeah...thats what I was thinking all along

MOM: I believe I have just been played

NUGGET: ---big smile-----
