Kid Logic: Compartmentalizing

Four-year-old Minion, with his hand at his chin: "Mommy, I'm full all the way up to here! I can't eat anymore."

Me: "All right, if you're full, you don't have to eat anymore dinner. You can be excused from the table."

Five minutes later:

Minion: "Mommy, I want ice cream"

Me: "I thought you were full?"

Minion, without missing a beat: "Well, yes, but that was my dinner place. My ice cream place is empty.
