He Listens to His Mama?

Last night, I watched Blink dry his hands on the towel and let it fall to the ground rather than putting it back on the towel bar.

"Blink, the towel is on the floor."

"Yeah?"

"Well, pick it up!"

"But that's where I found it!  You're always telling me to put things back where I found them."

I don't know if it's better or worse that I don't think he was trying to be a smart-ass.
