Welcome, Alpha Mare!
That last paragraph of this dumb story was the worst.  Does anyone believe it?  This reminds me of a girl I work with, when she tells a story about something her kid said, she actually puts on a baby voice.  It's sickening, treacly, and precious.  
I honestly think that no 5-year old can sit still to hear king zero drone on and on with his head moving side to side.  It's worse than a boring minister at church.  The kids fidget like rabbits.  They're certainly not going to wait with bated breath to hear the gems dropping from his lips.
