Kid 2: "badingo!" Kid 1 stops, but does something else too repetitive. Kid 2: "badingo!" Kid 1: "You're saying badingo too many times. Badingo!" Kid 2: "badingo badingo badingo badingo badingo!" Kid 1: "badingo times infinity!" Kid 2: MOM! Actually that kind of discussion impresses me because it shows they comprehend infinite loops and recursion at some level.
