When my younger son was 5 I took him up to Maine. It was a looooooooooong drive from Ohio, as you can imagine. I was in a caravan of cars as my whole extended family was going in about four different cars.
I was driving thru NYC and my brother in law was riding shotgun.
Danny was sitting in the back, seatbelt secure, sunglasses on a button nose.
Out of nowhere he says, "I'm going to be sarcastic."
And then he never said another word till we got to Connecticut!

"Shall I give you a kiss?" Peter asked and, jerking an acorn button off his coat, solemnly presented it to her.
