Words of Wisdom from my Kindergartner

Earlier in the day I had driven my Kindergartner to his music lesson in my Honda CRX, a subcompact two-seater. Later I drove all the kids and their bikes to a park in our minivan.

As we put the bikes back in the garage when we got back, my 5 year old asked why we keep the garage door locked. I answered, "Because otherwise someone might steal your bike".

He replied, "Well, at least no one would steal your CRX."

I asked why not. I wondered if he'd noticed that the engine was not running very smoothly when I took him to his weekly music lessons; it needs a part that is nowhere to be found, new or used. Or was it because, at over 25 years old and well over 200,000 miles, it looks a little tired? Or was it just that it was overdue for a wash?

"Because it's not very useful. It only holds two people."

Oh. Well, fortunately we keep the minivan locked up in the garage too.
