Big Boy Voice

This is just a super quick story from my day in preschool....it made me laugh and figured someone else out there may get a laugh out of it.
I was on the play ground and a group of 4 year olds went tearing by me...2 laughing and having a grand time,  shouting out instructions to one another with 1 in tow,  crying and shrieking and whining the whole way,  kicking his legs out to the side as he ran.
I call to the last 1 in the line and asked him to come over....I tried to explain to him that his friends may not listen to him if he was whining and he should use a big boy voice...no more screaching.  I concluded this conversation with "Ok,  so where is your big boy voice?" 
He stared at me for a moment blankly....the in low, whiney voice and a huge scowl on his face he looks me in the eye and says "but I cant find itttttttttttttttt!!"
haha. oh my was I not expecting that at all.  It took all I had not to laugh...instead I simply instructed him to look in his pockets and see if he left it there when he was getting ready for school.  Sure enough,  he found it....and off he ran. haha...made my whole day!
