parenting is surreal, part I

Boogermonkey, balancing a wooden car on a pile of blocks: This car is on top of the Mexican airplane.

Me, befuddled: A Mexican airplane?

Him, pointing to his toy bus next to the pile of blocks: Yeah, and the bus is in the kitchen.

Me, o_O: In the kitchen?  Why is it in the kitchen?

Him: Yeah!  Because it’s a driver!

Me, o_O: Where did you learn about Mexico?

Him: Yeah!  Because Daddy didn’t show it to me on my globe.

Me: Daddy showed you Mexico on your globe, oh okay.

Him: No he didn’t!  It was on my globe!
