Is there anything cooler than a five-year-old boy?

Ben: I was running so fast at school!

Me: Really?

Ben: Yeah, you know when you run so fast and smoke comes out the back of your shoes?

Me: Yes, that IS fast.

Ben: All my friends behind me were coughing and coughing because of all the smoke.

Me: Oh, my. You are a fast runner.

Ben: Yeah, really, really fast.
