What? I'm Serious

As happens approx 50% of the time, Pat fell asleep with Max after reading him his book tonight. I heard Max coming down the stairs some time after he should have been asleep.

Me: "Max, what are you doing?"

Max: "I'm hungry"

Me: "Well where is Daddy?"

Max: "Upstairs sleeping"

Me: "You left him asleep upstairs and came down to get a snack?"

Max: "Yes, why not? He knows how to sleep all by himself"

Me (disbelief): "Max!"

Max: "What? I'm serious Mommy..."
