A wise little "grasshopper"

A true story sent to me by my niece about her 5 year old son:

So I took Ben to get his present and he started looking at a really dumb toy.

I said "Ben, that is a stupid toy, I'm not going to buy it so pick out something else."

He said, "Mom, that is a naughty word, you can't ever say stupid."

When we were done shopping, we got in the car and Ben said, "Dad, mommy said a really naughty word – she said stupid."

Tim said, "you are a good police officer, Ben"

Ben said, "I am not a police officer right now, I am a woman."

We said, "What? No you're not"

He said, "YES, I am a woman"

So I asked, "What's a woman?"

And Ben said with the tone of a professor, "A woman is a man that's really, really mad."
