I just had the following conversation with my seven-year-old:
Kid (yelling): I am not going to tell you because you JUST WON'T UNDERSTAND.
Mom: Why don't you try to explain?
K: You just won't get it.
M: Why? Do you think I'm stupid.
K: No. You aren't stupid. You could be a little dumb, though.
M: What is the difference between stupid and dumb?
K: Dumb is when you just don't have as much brains and you're not as smart. Stupid is when you are dumb, and mean, and kind of a jackass.
M: You can't say that.
K: I'm just telling you.
M: So, do you think I'm dumb?
K: No. Not excessively.
At that point, I laughed until I coughed, and then I coughed until I peed a little in my pants.
