Caleb and I were riding in the car when the topic of remote control trucks came up (Scott has a few gas powered ones. And not gas like what goes in your car, nooo, no, $35 a gallon gas. Yeah.).
“I want Daddy to get another truck!”
“I don’t think that’s going to happen, they are expensive.”
“Why?”
“Because they cost a lot of money.”
“Why?”
“Because they are expensive to make I suppose.”
“Why?”
“Well, because they take a lot of time and work I suppose. And the parts are expensive to make.”
“…Why?”
“I reckon the materials the parts are made of cost a lot.”
“Why?”
“[laughing now] I don’t know Caleb. They just do!”
“…[longer pause]…Why? Don’t laugh. DON’T LAUGH!”
~He told me something about his little pull along puppy, so I turned the tables~
“Why?” I asked.
“Because it just does.”
“Why?” I asked again.
“I don’t know.”
“Why don’t you know?”
“I DON’T KNOW. I JUST DON’T!”
“Hey did you see those cows?!” I asked, changing the subject.
“No, what color where they?”
“Brown.”
“Were they milk cows?”
“No, I think they were beef cows.”
“Well maybe they were chocolate cows since they were brown.”
“I think they were beef cows.”
“No, those are brown and white cows. So I think they were chocolate cows.”
“I’m not sure what the difference is in brown cows and brown and white cows.”
“Brown cows are chocolate cows. I just told you.”
“Okay, they were chocolate cows.”
Case closed.

Hey, ask him this: What if a cow is black on both ends, but has a white stripe around the middle? We have one. Her name, appropriately, is Oreo and yes, she is a pet!

Ah, the joys of toddler conversation.
I actually changed our normal morning route just so I wouldn’t have to answer the zillion and one questions Stink asks about the train.
Is that mean?
