Happy Birthday

Today is my niece's birthday. We called her to wish her a great day and after listing off all her presents to me this is the conversation we had

Me: You sure got a lot of presents. I never get that many presents on my birthday.

Her: I know. I got a lot. Mum and Dad never get many either.

Me: Yeah, maybe Mum and Dad and me need to do something about that.

Her: Yeah, you should tell the government.

Does this give us some indication of how our children view the world? That the government should solve ALL our problems? That they should hold an official inquiry into Why Parents Are Not Getting Enough Birthday Presents.
