"have you brought snacks? no? then i will eat my fingers"

a 6 year old kid said this to his mum playfully, and pretending to eat his own fingers, when they entered the coffee house. some replies from his mum, some boylaughs. i was thinking he is a spoiled child. after a while, i think it over, i found him not only not a spoiled kid, but a bright kid. for he has already solving his own problem, no snack->disappointed->blame parents->yell/cry didnot happen on him, he accepted and thought of alternative solution
