His momma on the other hand, not so much! Consider the conversation below Exhibit A:
(Momma looks out back and sees a woodpecker)
Cameron, look, there's a Red-headed Woodpecker back here.
(Child excitedly comes to the window) Where?
(pause) Oh, that's a Red-bellied Woodpecker, Mom. The Red-headed ones have a totally red head.
(walks away) I already saw a Red-bellied Woodpecker today.
(Has a moment of sensitivity) But it was nice to see a second one. Thanks, Mom.
This momma now knows more than she did before!
