Outsmarted!

Troy: “Dada, is this a real mosquito?”
Me: “Oh, absolutely! Every toy comes with a real giant prehistoric mosquito!”
Troy: “Then, is this a real egg?”
Me: “You’re holding it, aren’t you?”
Troy: “So, if I put it down does that mean it’s not real anymore?”
Me [incredulous]: “You’re a smart aleck! I meant that you are feeling it, so you’ve already confirmed that it’s real. If it wasn’t real, then you wouldn’t be able to hold it. I didn’t mean that it would cease to be real if you put it down!”
