Keeping it real

We've been watching episodes of Curious George ever since Mom sent them to Silas for Easter. They are really cute and well done so even though I initially wanted to keep it to one episode a day sometimes it stretches into two or three depending on Emmet's behavior, what else I need to get done, the weather outside, etc.
Anyway, the man in the yellow hat is always, rather naively, telling George to be a good little monkey. Maybe you remember this from the books? So yesterday I asked Silas if he was being a good little monkey.
"No, Mom. I'm Silas!" He says dropping his head and tilting his chin in an exasperated fashion.
"Oh, are you being a good little Silas then?" I asked, rather naively, I guess.
"No, Mom. I'm the REAL Silas!"
