Outsmarted By A Five- Or Six-Year-Old

I am stocking an aisle in the grocery store. Our store has a small cafe where children aged five and under eat for free. I overhear a mother talking to her young son.
Mother: “Remember, [Son], we’re pretending you’re five, okay?”
Son: “But, Mommy, I’m six!”
Mother: “Yes, but let’s pretend, okay?”
Son: “Does this mean I don’t need to go to school tomorrow?”
Mother: “What? No! Of course, you need to go to school.”
Son: “But six-year-olds go to school. Five-year-olds stay home and play!”
Mother: “Well, tomorrow, you’ll be six.”
Son: “So, tomorrow is my birthday?!”
Mother: “What? No—”
Son: “Yay! Presents!”
She paid for his meal.
