Today's CARversations with Tyler

One of my favorite things about riding in the car with Tyler is all his random thoughts and questions. Sometimes they're gospel related, sometimes they're all in the same thematic family...and then sometimes, like today, I wonder where the devil he is coming up with these things. All kinds of random!!! So, here are today's CARversations!!

Tyler: "Mom, when you go hiking, you need to wear tennis shoes because tennis shoes are STRONG shoes. You can't wear flip flops. Flip Flops are WEAK shoes. They are only good for hiking on the street."
Mom: "Very true Tyler, thanks for sharing."

1 minute later...

Tyler: "Mom, there was this girl in my class last year that wanted to be a Mermaid when she grows up. I told her that mermaids weren't real. She didn't believe me. Are mermaids real??"
Mom: "No son, you were right- mermaids aren't real."
Tyler: "I thought so."

a few minutes later...

Tyler: "Mom (he always starts with "Mom" as if there's someone else in the car he'd be talking to), how do blind people see?"
Mom: "They don't see, that's why a lot of blind people have seeing eye dogs to help them."
(tangent on "what's a seeing eye dog")
Tyler: "So, if someone in our family got blind, we'd have to get a seeing eye dog?"
Mom: "Well I sure hope that no one in our family ever becomes blind."
Tyler: "Yeah, because you're allergic to dogs. I guess if someone got blind, and we had to get a seeing eye dog, you'd just have to be allergic."
Mom: (stifling fits of laughter...because of course the reason I wouldn't want someone in our family to be blind is because I would be allergic to their dog)
Tyler: "I sure hope I never get blind."
Mom: "Me too Ty, me too!!"

Somedays, a little bit of Tyler's mind makes the car ride so much more interesting!! I love that kid.
