The Knack

Mac is a funny kid. I guess most 2 year olds are, but we pretty much only know him.

Sunday after church we sat down to eat lunch at a restaurant. After getting our drinks he insisted that he needed the salt. After grabbing it, he dumped some onto his napkin and then placed his drink onto it. He was pretty pleased with himself, but went on like it was nothing.

After laughing we asked him where he learned to do that.

He said "Huh, Papa." "Huh" is the first thing out of his mouth anytime he is asked a question. Quite annoying, but I am sure typical for his age.

I thought this was funny enough to let Papa know. He modestly replied "He may have figured out on his own how the salt breaks the adhesion properties of the wet paper. After all, he is my grandson."

If that is the case, then perhaps its one of the early symptoms of The Knack.

Of course shortly after this he exhibited symptoms of not having The Knack by shamelessly flirting with two ladies at a nearby table. Perhaps he is a rare breed - a ladies man with The Knack.
