Pain Remedy

Setting: It's 10:30pm. Max (who should be asleep) comes from his room to call downstairs to Mom.
Max: "Mom."
Mom: "Yes Max."
Max: "My toe hurts."
Mom (concerned): "Your toe hurts?"
Max: "Yes."
Mom: "Is it bleeding?"
Max: "No."
Mom: "What happened?"
Max:
"I drank way too much water tonight and it all went down to my toe."
Mom (struggling to deliver a credible solution): "Well, maybe if you go to the bathroom and pee, your toe will stop hurting."
Max: "Oh, ok."

A few minutes later...

Max: "Goodnight, Mom."
Mom: "Goodnight, Max."
