Food guessing with yx

So this conversation happened one weekday evening at my parents' place:

Me to yx: "What yummy food did nai nai cook?"

With a look of guilt, Yx replied: "I don't want to tell you!" She said this repeatedly, holding up both hands signalling me to stop asking. I recognised this face and tone, and guessed immediately that my mom had given yx so-called "prohibited food" and suggested that she not tell us.

I continued to probe: "Is it pork floss?"

Yx: "I don't want to tell you!"

Me: "Is it raisin?"

"I don't want to tell you!"

"Ok let me guess. Is it crispy?"

"Yes."

"Is it brown?"

"Yes."

"Is it chicken?"

"No."

Then, Yx suddenly looked up and asked me, "What is french fries made of?"

I replied, "Potato."

Yx: "How about pork floss?"

"Pork."

Yx: "Uh yes, it's made of pork."

Lol... she told me the answer indirectly... The cute innocence of kids... 

I'm scared to turn old.
