How Did You Know?

Let me set the scene:

The Kiddo is playing in his room. I am in the living room. Then I hear a jump on the bed.

Me: Don't jump on the bed.

Kiddo is still playing in his room. Soon I hear another jump on the bed, although this one is quieter.

Me: I said don't jump on the bed.

Kiddo: How did you know??

Me: Because I'm smart.

Kiddo: Don't be smart.


When he says "How did you know?" I'm always tempted to say "Because I know EVERYTHING!!!" Followed by some form of maniacal laughter . . .

But I don't want to lie to him. Haha. You know, or scare him. Haha. It's still fun this way.
