Today a nanny was telling me about how the 2-year-old girl she cares for, one of our regular storytime attendees, loves Mo Willems' pigeon books (Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, etc.) She told us that the girl actually had the book Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late completely memorized!
At one point in this book, the pigeon tried to rationalize his desire to stay up a bit later by saying, "What's five more minutes in the grand scheme of things?" The girl's nanny told me that at one point the child's mother had told the girl that she needed to wait five more minutes for something. The girl proceeded to respond by quoting this line from the book. Of course a 2-year-old doesn't really understand exactly what this phrase means, which makes it all the funnier for the rest of us. So cute.
