After picking Riley up from Grandma's house, then Connor from daycare, we headed over to Aunt Tin's to drop off an electric sander. She's in the process of doing some home improvements and is learning to use all sorts of tools. Since it was already late and we still needed to eat dinner, I had to break the news to Connor that we were stopping by her house but wouldn't actually be going inside. When we arrived, she came out to the car to get the sander. After talking for a few minutes, we said our goodbyes. As I was pulling away from Aunt Tin's house, Connor had a few questions . . .
Connor: Why did we have to give that to her?
Mommy: She needs it to do some work in her house.
Connor: Why?
Mommy: She wants her house to look nice.
Connor: Because her house doesn't look nice now?
Mommy: Well, no. It looks nice now. She just wants to make it better.
Connor: [silence] Is it sick?
