Nate's quick thinking

Kathleen and I (Mike) had been visiting Redmond/Seattle, Washington for about two and a half weeks. We had been living with Tom, Yee, Nate (6), and Tee (2). We were leaving on Sunday. On Saturday, I walked into Nate's bedroom about 10AM.

Nate: "Where are you going?"

Me: "Nana and I are going to visit Matt and Cori."

Nate: "Why are you going to do that?"

Me: "Because he's our son and we want to see them again before we leave."

Nate thought for less than a second: "Wouldn't you rather spend the entire day with your grandchildren?"

Me laughing: "Bye Nate. We'll be back later."

Hence reinforcing my often expressed opinion that little kids are inherently bandits.
