Almost There?

Y'know how all those kids in the TV shows (and many real-life kids) always nag their parents on road trips with "are we THERE yet?" Well, I found it kind of impressive that Nathan started into the age-old whining routine with a question that revealed his understanding of the obvious.  I mean, it was obvious that we were not THERE yet because, well, we weren't.  So, he never asked that question.  Rather, he asked, "Dad? Are we ALMOST THERE?"
