This is something that happened when my grandson was younger. I will never forget this funny story, which I have made into an etheree.

Chatting with Hyrum, my husband asked him what he was watching on TV. He raved about the show his grandpa’s phone call had interrupted. There was a lull. . . and then this four-year-old kid said, “What am I still talking with you for?” Sept. 27, 2019 for Caren Krutsinger's 'Any Poem You Want to Write 50 Words or Less' Contest (44 words)

Kids do tend to say whatever they think, I guess it's a good reality check!
