Too funny - heard during storytime

Sam is reading Green Eggs and Ham to Ben and Carlee. About halfway through I heard this conversation...
 
Sam sighs loudly - I am getting so tired, this is a VERY long book!
Ben - Are you gonna fall asleep while reading?
Sam - I might, I am getting pretty sleepy
Carlee - Oh well it's okay, Ben, if Sam falls asleep I can finish reading the book to you
 
Sam continues to read but Ben suddenly comes over to me and asks...

 
Ben - Mama, does Chrysanthemum have all 26 letters just not in order? 
Me (laughing) No, it doesn't have all the letters
Ben - HEY it is not funny it is a VERY serious question!

Me (still laughing) sorry, but no it does not have all the letters
Ben - well it is a really really really long word and it really does have all the letters

Carlee - No Ben it doesn't

Ben - Oh YES it does

Sam - Oh no it doesn't... chrysamanthamamum see it don't have no D sound or a Z sound

Carlee - yeah it probably has 22 letters but not all 26... chryzzzzanthemum oh Sam, yeah it does have the Z sound!

Ben -Yeah like I said it has all 26 letters

Me - well what about the F sound?

Ben - its in there, you just can't hear it!


How can you argue with that logic!!!
