What day is it today?

James started giving Nathan a "fruit snack" (gummy fruit candy) every Monday on the way to school to help with the drop off since he tends to be especially clingy after the weekend. It's worked like a charm so far, but now he's always thinking about a fruit snack, resulting in following conversation at bedtime today:

N: Mommy, what day is it today?
me: It's Thursday.
N: Tomorrow Monday?
me: Let's see... (sing the "sunday, monday, tuesday, ... saturday" song). Friday comes after Thursday, so tomorrow is Friday.
N: Fruit snack on Friday?
me: No, fruit snacks are on Mondays only remember?
N: What's after Friday?
me: Saturday
N: Fruit snack?
me: Er no. Tomorrow is Friday, after Friday is Saturday, after Saturday is Sunday, and after Sunday is Monday, then you can have your fruit snack.
N: Hooray!

I wonder what Nathan is dreaming about tonight...
