Know-it-all

We were playing outside, each kiddo was doing his own thing. Julia and I were talking about sticks.

Julia - "You can't touch the red sticks, mom. You can't. I really, seriously mean it, for reals."
Me - "Why's that, honey?"
Julia - "Because Braxton (her 7 year old cousin) said they're very sharp!"
Me - (admittedly a little annoyed that everything Julia knows is cuz "Braxton said..." or "Majesta said...") "You know Julia? Braxton doesn't know everything.
Julia - "Yes he does."
Me - "Does he, now?"
Julia - "Yes, because Braxtons like in second grade or first grade or something."

Julia - "There's only one thing that Braxton does not know."
Me - "Oh? What's that?"
Julia - "Well... there's this tiny little bubbly swamp at grandma's house, and Braxton said that's where poop and pee live."
-blink-
Julia - "Well, he's WRONG. So, that's the one thing Braxton doesn't know. But, mom - he knows everything else so just don't touch the red sticks."



Whose the know-it-all here?
