Can’t fool a smart four-year-old.


I realized my son was smarter than I when he was only four years old.  He hadn’t finished his dinner one night and I said to him what was said to me when I was a kid.  “Finish your dinner, there are children starving in Europe.”
Without batting an eye he offered me his plate and said: “Well, send them this, I’m full.”  I was dumbfounded.
Why couldn’t I have thought of that when I was four? 
At four I didn’t even know what a Europe was, so I stupidly ate whatever was left on my plate.
