Just At The Gate..Papa

I almost forget that my son is no longer a baby. He will be 3-year old boy this June and he seems clever to talk something which involved his escape from the house. One day, we're the only two people at home. It was my day off. At 1pm, I told him to stay and sleep for him to grow. He stayed indeed with me in our room and played his toys. But maybe bored, he asked if he could play outside with the other boys. I said no, not after he sleeps. But I was outwitted eventually, he said he's gotta pee and so I permitted him. But after he peed, for all I knew he's already outside shouting in his words, "Papa I'm playing outside. I'm not going beyond the gate!" I just laughed then and thought, oh boy, my son is really growing now..
