The brain (Identity)

Last week, our younger son came over from the States with our grandson (4 years, 9 months). Our house borders on playing fields, which little Keanu calls "the park". One day we went for a walk to a shop about 20 minutes away, in the opposite direction to the park, but we came back a different way, where he'd never been before. As we walked along a narrow winding lane, I asked him where he thought it would take us. His first answer was: "Home!" which put me in my place. Then I told him it would take us to somewhere before home, and he immediately said: "The park!" I asked him how he knew, and his response was: "My brain told me. My brain tells me everything."-I'm still pondering the implications.
