LOL this reminds me of a commercial that used to be on ALL the time when I was younger. It was for a law firm and the slogan was "if you have a phone, you have a lawyer." I reasoned that we had 5 phones in my house, therefore we had 5 lawyers.

Haha, this reminds me of the "Four Stomachs Theory" I formulated back when I was three or four years old.

My parents had quite the struggle getting me to eat my veggies. I would say that I was "too full" to eat any more veggies. They would then deny me dessert, on the grounds that if I was too full for veggies, I was too full for ice cream. (Did I mention my parents are sadists?)

Well, I read somewhere that cows have four stomachs. So I reasoned that if cows have four stomachs, why not humans? I tried to convince my parents that I had four stomachs: one for meat, one for potatoes and rice, a really tiny one for veggies, and a huge one for dessert. So I could legitimately be too full for veggies and yet have room for dessert!

Unfortunately, my parents, being doctors, didn't buy it for a second.
