Teagan logic

Teagan: "Mom, I just wanted to come inside so I made up some essuses (excuses) for my friends. I do it all the time. i just tell them I have to go inside to grab something and then never go back outside. After a while they'll go home."

Me: "Why don't you just tell them you're done playing?"

Teagan: "Well they just whine and stuff, it's so much easier to just make essuses."

He's learned the art of avoiding conflict, can't imagine who he learned that from...
