The other day, Nate and Grace were talking about friends. Nate was "counseling" his younger sister. Robyn was listening in the other room.
Nate: Grace, if you really want A LOT of friends, just go buy a pizza and carry it around. You'll have TONS of friends!
Grace: That's a BOY solution. That doesn't really work with girls.
After this counseling session was over, Robyn sent Nate a text:
"Dearest Nate,
As I lie on my sickbed and listen to you counsel your sister, I can't help but be grateful for this side of you...the caring, sometimes self-deprecating, funny, and sweet side. Thank you for being there for your sister when she needed to talk. You are a blessing to us both. Love you."
Nate responded with:
"Oh dearest mother,
As I sit on my alleged sickbed (he came home early from church because he was "sick"), I thank you for being the mother you are. As the virus and white blood cells battle for my wellness, I wish for you to know that I love you.
Your son, your heir, even Nathaniel Rodney Campbell"
