San Antonio, Texas boy claims to be a fish to avoid cleaning up his mess Boy's mother filmed him after he dumped toothpicks on the floor He admits to creating the mess, but refuses to clean up after himselfÂ Â Boy says he has 'swimmers' instead of arms Parents have heard every excuse in the book from their misbehaving children, but a mischievous three-year-old child offers a new one in this amusing video. The adorable boy, identified as Andy, was filmed by his mum after he dumped toothpicks on the floor at their home in San Antonio, Texas. He tells her that he is unable to pick up the toothpicks because he is a 'fishy' - but she can do it because she's an octopus. The back-and-forth exchange begins with the boy's mother repeatedly asking who poured the toothpicks onto the floor. After the boy admits responsibility, his mum asks: â€˜How did you do it?â€™ â€˜I just dumped them out on the floor,â€™ he says. His mother then asks him what kind of animal he is â€" to which he replies that heâ€™s a â€˜fishy.â€™ Three-year-old boy insists that he cannot pick up the mess he's made on the floor because he's a fish When she asks why he canâ€™t pick up the mess he made on the floor, Andy insists that itâ€™s because he doesnâ€™t have arms. He tells his mum he has â€˜swimmersâ€™ instead. Andy then suggests that his mother should clean up his mess for him because she is an octopus with three hands and five feet. 'I don't really like that argument,' she tells him. 'I would like you to try to use your swimmers to pick them up, please.'Â
