One day when eating, the grandfather accidentally broke another plate. The daughter-in-law was very annoyed and told her son to go out and buy an enamel plate for the grandfather.

This made the little grandson very embarrassed. It was too disrespectful and filial to him to give the enamel dishes used by ignorant children to his grandfather, but he could not disobey his mother's words, so he had to go out to buy dishes.

After a while, the grandson came back with two plates in his hand. Seeing this, the mother asked, "Why did you buy two?"

The boy answered one sentence, which left his mother speechless. Since then, his attitude towards grandpa has also improved. How did he answer it?
