Just Three More Bites.... Or, Maybe Not!

James has been talking and talking lately and he has been coming up with some very clever responses to questions when asked. Just a few nights ago at the dinner table, James attempted to foil our attempts to get him to eat a few more bites of his meal. Normally he says that he is finished, we ask him how old he is, he says three, and then we tell him he has to eat three more bites to be all done. This time he tried to out smart us....

James: "I'm all done."
Mark: "You have to eat a little more. How old are you?"
James: (while glancing at Mom across the table with a glimmer of mischief in his eye) "I'm two.... "(pause, and flashes a big sly smile) "No, I am only one!!"

Too bad for James! We were on to him and he had to eat three more bites anyway.
