Conversations we have on our way to school

Cutie: Are we going to take the freeway?

Me: No, we just drive the streets to school.

Cutie: But I want to take the freeway. I like the freeway.

Me: Why do you like to go on the freeway?

Cutie: uummmmm...because we get to see lots of ferris wheels.

Me: That's true.



Cutie: Are we going to do a U-turn?

Me: No, we are just going to make a left turn here.

Cutie: Why don't we do a U-turn?

Me: Because then we would be going the wrong way.


Cutie: There is the donut shop. See the sign? Can we go to the donut shop?

Me: Not today, we need to get to school.

Cutie: Maybe another day?

Me: Yes, another day.

Cutie: What does donut start with?

Me: d...d...d...donut.

Cutie: "D"

Me: That's right! Very good.



Cutie: Why did you just do a U-turn? Did you go the wrong way?

Me: No, you have to do a U-turn to get into this driveway.

Cutie: Oh.



Cutie: Are you going to stop for an iced tea?

Me: Yep, I gotta have my iced tea.

Cutie: You like iced tea? It's your favorite?

Me: Yep, gotta have my iced tea.



Cutie: Are you chewing gum?

Me: Yes.

Cutie: What color is it?

Me: Yellow.

Cutie: Can I see it?

Me: It's not really a good time because I'm driving.

Cutie: Just show me in the mirror.

Me: I need to watch the road.

Cutie: You have to be careful?

Me: Yes, I don't want to hit any cars.

Cutie: You don't want to smash the new car?

Me: No, I want to keep our new car pretty.

Cutie: Sometimes new cars get smashed.

Me: That's true. That's why I want to be a safe driver.
