How many?

Getting Jocey to eat is a real job around our house.  This kid just is always eating on the run, snacking all day long.  So to get her to sit down and eat a meal is an almost impossible task.  This was our conversation today about her lunch:

Mom: Jocey, eat your hot dog.
Jocey: Okay.
Mom: (five minutes later) Jocey, eat your hot dog.
Jocey: Okay, Mom.
Mom: (five minutes after that) Jocey, how many times do I have to ask you to eat your hot dog.
Jocey: (after a little bit of thought) Eighteen. 

Since when did my 3 year old know how to count to 18?  I couldn't help but laugh when she said that.
