Aiden you came to visit Bobba Steve and me for Easter. You remembered we had lots of Tonka construction trucks in the shed so you helped me get them out. I sat in the sand with you near the swing set and we lined them all up. I asked you what we should build and immediately you knew.
“A road.”
“Where will the road go?”
“From here to over there,” you pointed toward the cow pasture.
“What can I do to help?”
“You need to pick up the sticks and nuts (acorns) and put them in the dump truck to make it smooth.”
“Good idea.” I got to my work and you got to yours.
“So why do we have to build this road?”
“It’s a new faster road to get here from my house.”
“Great idea because the old road take about four hours and that’s a long time.”
“It’s too far, that’s why. Now we have a fast road.”
“How long will it take to drive on this new fast road?”
“Watch this.” You pushed her scraper very fast across the length of the sand and proudly said, “This fast.”
“Great, so you can come more often to visit me, right?”
“Yes I can. When I’m bigger I will drive myself.”
“Will you have your own car?”
“I will have a motorcycle and Sky will ride on back.”
“Oh please don’t come on a motorcycle. I like cars better.”
“You want me to drive a COW?” You made a funny face and started to laugh.
“No, I want you drive a CAR.” Then I laughed
“I can’t drive a car yet, I can only drive a scooter.”
I’m so glad we got THAT settled!
