I can't wait until she's 16!

As often happens while we drive, my kids were questioning my driving decisions and peppering me with somewhat related questions.

For example, the light turns green but I don't immediately push the gas pedal. 

Colin asks: the light is green, why aren't you going? 

Me: There is a car in front of us and if I go before he moves, then I'll run into him.  That would be bad.

C: Then we'd bang his car up (making crunching and crashing noises)

Much discussion follows regarding how bad it would be to get in an accident and "break" our car, including discussion of which car it would be worse to break, etc.  I mention that this is one reason that you have to be older to drive and why you need to practice driving before you can drive on your own.

Fiona responds: I know how to drive.  Stop, stop, vroom, vroom, AAAARRRGGH! (various screaming noises).

Nice.

Twenty Questions with Colin

C: I've got one.

Me: Is it an animal?

C: No.

Me:  Is it a place?

C: No.

F: Is it a fun place? (Aside: Colin thinks that a  place and a fun place are different)

C: Yes

B: Is it the train museum?  (Colin's choice on two previous games of 20 questions that day)

C: No

Me: Is it far away?

C: Yes, you take 5 planes to get there.

F: What?  You don't take 5 planes to get anywhere.

Me: Is it Indiana?

C: No.  You only take 2 planes to get there.  (This is true, by the way.)

Me, F, B list several other places to which Colin repeatedly says no.

C:  It's muffins!!

Um, maybe he doesn't quite get the concept?
