Yesterday was beautiful here (70 and sunny) and the kids were running around the neighborhood. Whitaker at one point was hanging out at our neighbors house but I wanted to make sure that he was ok - he is only 3. I asked Mae if she could go check on him for me as I was preparing for guests for dinner.
Mae did exactly as I asked her, she went over to check on him, and came back right away to report that he was fine. Then here was our exchange.
Me: Thank you Mae. You are the best. What would I do without you?
Mae [dead serious voice]: You would have walked over and checked on him yourself.
I laughed and laughed. I guess a 5 year old can't truly understand the rhetorical question yet.
