The mind of a 5-year-old

I was in the car with the boys the other day when Nolan spotted the 1st National Bank near our house, which has a large sign out front with big “1st” logo on it.

“Dad, that’s the ‘one’ bank,” he said.

“That’s the 1st National Bank, Nolan” I told him.

“The first bank?!?” he said with wonder.

“No, Nolan, that’s just the name,” I corrected.

“Is there a 2nd National Bank?” he asked.

I smiled. “That’s a good question,” I said. “I don’t know.”

He thought about it. “There is,” he declared. “There’s a bank for every number.”
