Kids these days. They think they know everything. Like this little scamp, Timmy. He decided to test his theory on adults. Let’s see how that went.
Timmy had heard the playground rumor: adults had a secret weakness and were easily manipulated. Armed with this groundbreaking intel, he decided to put it to the test.
He sidled up to his Mom, a mischievous glint in his eye. “Mom, I know everything,” he declared dramatically.
His Mom simply hushed him and slipped him $10. “Don’t tell Dad,” she whispered conspiratorially.
Timmy’s tiny mind was blown. This was easier than stealing cookies from the cookie jar!
When Dad got home, Timmy repeated his profound statement. “Dad, I know everything.”
Dad, clearly impressed by this sudden burst of omniscience, handed over $100. “Hush, don’t tell your Mom,” he instructed.
Riding high on his newfound wealth, Timmy was feeling invincible. Then the mailman arrived. With the same confidence, Timmy greeted him with, “I know everything, mister.”
The mailman’s eyes widened in shock. He dropped the mail, tears welling up. “Well then, Timmy,” he said solemnly, “come give Daddy a hug.”
