The world is my oyster

Well, Andrew's anyway. Apparently.

Tonight, at bedtime, I was just getting ready to put Evelyn to bed when Andrew, with that total oblivion of children, blundered right through the middle of my preparations. (Specifically, he climbed right over the blanket I had just laid out on the bed to wrap her in.) After telling him why I was annoyed by this, I added, with some asperity, "The world isn't your oyster, Andrew."

Responded my self-confident three-year-old: "Why not?"

Whenever I get comments like that from my child, I wonder if I should be annoyed, or confident right along with them. Why not?
