This conversation literally just took place:

Me: "Alex, what have you been eating?"  As he has a mouthful of food.
Alex: "Nothing."
Me: "Alex come here.  I need a hug."  He is getting pretty wise to the fact that I can sniff his breath when I hug him and figure out what he is eating.  "Alex, did you eat a breadstick?"
"Yes, Mommy.  Daddy was cutting it up and I needed to help him eat it.  I didn't want him to eat it all and have a tummy ache."
