My Child Pinnochio, Is Rather Small For His Age

Played out on the playground –

Woman to Tizzy: "So young man, how old are you?"

Tizzy – eyes glowing – lips smiling: "I'm ten." 

(He's four.)

Women:  "Oh really? You're awfully short for ten."

Tizzy: "Ho-ho. Oh yes. It's kind of funny actually. People say that all the time."

I suspect he'll be evaluated as having an unabashed urbane wit.

Our son loves to tease people. He also loves numbers so he will either increase his age one year per hour until he reaches 101 at which time he goes back to zero or he will increase by one prime number a day or something like that. But people don't get that. They will say, "How old are you?" and he says "73" and they say, "OH. You don't understand numbers." It's cruel but I always say, "Oh, Pablo. Is did you pick 73 because it's the next prime number aftr 67?" I know it's showing off but I wish people would give kids credit. Sounds like the woman in the park did just that and joked back.

FABULOUS!!! And love how he kept going with it. No doubt he has a Jiminy Cricket that will intervene when it's truly necessary. In this instance, going honest would've been criminal.

Great post

LOL... well, he is GOOD at fibbing, at least! Pretty quick, saying how everyone always tells him he's short for his age! What a little character!
