A much lighter note...

While reading a "Cars" book tonight:

Me:"Christopher, isn't Mater such a good friend to Lightning?" I ask

"No." Christopher says.

Me: "Really? You don't think Mater is a good friend- wouldn't you like to have a good friend like Mater?"

"No, I'd really like a pet!"

Me: "A pet, huh...what kind of pet would you really like to have?"

Now at this point Christopher begins scanning his room (He is famous for looking around the room if nothing comes to mind immediately.)

"Uh, uh uh....(looking over at his miniature plastic animals).....a water buffalo!" (buffawhoa, as he says)

Me: "A water buffalo might be a bit too large for inside our house Christopher!"

"We could keep it outside!" (like duh)

Then he adds, "But it might go away........but then we could get another one ?"

Yeah I'll think about Christopher! :)
