Smart-aleck

My mother-in-law was trying to engage Troy this morning by expressing an interest in the things he enjoys. He was playing with his dinosaur action figures, so she picked up the packaging for his latest dinosaur, and she asked, “What do we call this one?” Troy looked right at her and said, “A box.”

After we all stopped our hysterical laughter, I said to my mother-in-law, “Well, he’s not wrong!”

My wife said, “That sounded exactly like the kind of smart-aleck answer you’d give to someone. He’s definitely your son.” Well, she’s not wrong!
