You may have heard me mention that we often get into deep conversations with our 5 year old usually when she is tired. Well here is something she said that made my hubby and I laugh SO hard. Let me tell you...It was NOT easy holding the laugh in until later!
As we were driving home from some evening event, my husband and I were explaining why it is so important to be even more careful around vehicles especially around this time of year (she had darted out into the street a little too far). We explained that people often are not as careful this time of year because some people choose to celebrate Christmas by drinking alcohol and by not making good choices. We explained that some of these people decide that they can still drive vehicles after drinking poison. Since she recently got glasses we told her that when people drink alcohol, they can see like she does without her glasses which is not so great. Then they try and drive a car. We also said it's like when she spins in circles for a long time and tries to walk straight. Since they can't see so well, she could have been hit by a car or truck even if she wasn't really on the road. So we had thought that we had done a wonderful job explaining why she should be careful not to walk into the street and why she shouldn't drink alcohol and why it's not good for people to drink and drive. She on the other hand had her own good reason not to drink and drive. In her words (after we were done our explanation):
"AND You should not drink alcohol and drive because the government might be watching!"
Makes me wonder why we explain anything! We should have just let her tell us why it's not a good idea! HA HA! Happy Friday!
