Nice

On our way home from Logan’s 3D printing class, he was explaining how they would be painting their 3D creations during their last class.  Their creations are flower pots and Logan wants to use his to plant a maple tree.  

“I think we should chop down the apple tree and plant a hundred maple trees.  Then our family can be known for our maple syrup.”

“I don’t want to cut down the apple tree,” I said, as though it were really a thing.  “Besides, you know what I think our family should be known for?”

“What?” he asked politely. 

“Being nice,” I declared. 

“Well, that isn’t happening,” he muttered. 

Screw you jerk child!  Hmm, wait a second, maybe he’s on to something.
