Carseat Conversations

This may just look like your typical Iron-Man loving, I'm-scared-so-I-need-to-sleep-with-my-big-brother, four-year-old, but in actuality this little man is quite the philosopher. Since it's often just the two of us (and cute baby Joseph) driving around during the day while the kids are in school, we have many interesting carseat conversations. Here's one that occurred recently while driving home from swim lessons, as Brooks stared thoughtfully at the almost translucent clouds.

B: Mom, are we real people?

Moment of contemplation.

Me: Yes ... You mean are we human beings?

B: Uh, huh.

Momentary pause.

Me: Do you think we are?

B: No.

Hmmm.

Me: Well, then what do you think we are?

B: I think we're cartoons.

Interesting!

Me: Oh.
What else can you say to that kind of philosophy?

Someday much too soon I will REALLY miss these kinds of conversations!!
