Carter is preparing to go bowling with his buddy Dashiell and talking about the game:
“Is it a race? Mommy? Is it a race? Is it a race?”
Before any parent has a chance to answer, he adds, “Because if it’s a race, I want to be number 6!”
Daddy asks why- Carter explains patiently, “Because it comes after number 5.”
Ah. It’s all clear to us now.
