He does love the mall. Not to shop; he HATES shopping. He likes puppies, playgrounds, mechanical rides, carousels, and wide open spaces to run around. The mall has all of these. So, yes, he really did want to go. But did he really know the instant we turned away? Until I got my driver's license I couldn't have told you how to get anywhere not in easy walking distance. I babysat for a kid who, at 3ish, told me how to get to his swim club; a good 15 minute drive. His mom told me she could give me directions but the kid would do a better job. So, it's possible. But my kid? The Mav's kid? A sense of direction? Huh. Wouldn't have guessed that.

I believe it. I'm convinced the little guy is a genius. I swear he understands everything he hears. Watch out that can be dangerous!
And just how old were you Kris when you left to go shopping at the IGA? You knew the way but were not allowed to cross a street by yourself or you would have made it . Granddah
Katherine - we have to be really careful when we get the kids together; I think they may already be able to outsmart us if they work together.
Dad - Womelsdorf makes this town looks a metropolis. The IGA was about 6ft away wasn't it? But thanks for the vote of confidence. The Mav has taken offense at my comment about HIS abilities but even though he could navigate Baltimore, he often had problems with our carefully gridded system of streets out here.
