"You suck differently than Mommy"

File this under "conversations you never thought you'd have with your preschooler."

Context: I gave my son (or DS, if you insist) a kiss on the head, but he didn't want it. (He's a preschooler – they can be so fickle.) So he said "suck it back out". I've heard my wife and him play this game before, so I made a sucking noise and said, "there, I sucked it out." He laughed and exclaimed, "you suck differently than Mommy! You should suck like Mommy does!"
What could I say, other than, "Yes, I do suck differently than Mommy. That's just the way it is." This actually went back-and-forth a few times, and I did everything I could to keep from laughing hysterically.

Now I can't decide what is funnier: this conversation, or the many, many conversations surrounding the character from the Toy Story movies, "Woody". (He has several "Woody" toys, of varying sizes. Consider these past gems: "I have the big Woody now!", "Where is my little Woody?", "Can I bring Woody with me?", ad infinitum.)
