Beautiful little pedant

Some people on TV were singing happily about having the cleanest kitchen in the world - thanks to their sterling cleaning efforts.

Boy says: They're just showing off. Pffft.

I'm so proud that he can see through this pathetically meaningless, self-congratulatory celebration of ordinariness. He's also rather pedantic.

When Peppa Pig and her friends sing Peace and harmony in all the world, Boy rejoins: Well, except when there's a war.

And when his teacher puts him in time-out - it doesn't happen often, but it does elicit a lot of due consideration from  Boy - he critiques their management techniques, concluding that their methods do not work on him.

Boy: When we're in time out, the teachers think we are thinking about good things that we should be doing. But I'm thinking about even worse things that I could have done.
