Surprised by the Smartness

Michael and Carter were flipping through a library book that had few words.  There are a lot of tails drawn in the book and it leads to a lot of guessing to what the next page may bring.  Carter spotted a fox tail and asked why he was leaving.  Michael said, "Because that's the way the illustrator wanted to draw it."  I almost fell off my chair.  I was stunned because it was such a grown up answer.  That boy really is listening.  He also retains EVERYTHING!  It's a Morgan curse.  And a blessing.  :º)
