How 'bout them apples?

We had Nathan at the neuro the other day to check on his VNS and then increase the setting. Nathan was having a particularly lucid afternoon. Sitting in the room was dh, Nathan, Dr B, and two med students. While Dr. B and dh were talking, Nathan started counting all the people in the room, ending with himself and then said, "5, there are 5 in here". (that got everyone's attention). So, then dh said, "how many girls and how many boys?". Without skipping a beat, Nathan said, "2 girls, 3 boys". So, then Dr. B gets into the game and says, "Nathan, if you have 2 apples and I give you 2 more apples, how many..."

And before she could finish, Nathan jumps in with, "I would EAT them!!!!".

Dh gently reminds Dr. B that perhaps she should try using celery sticks instead as apples are not allowed on the modified atkins diet.

I love that kid.
