This morning's drive

We dropped Daddy off at the office this morning. It is technically closed, but he was swamped and needed to get some work done. So then I decided that we would go look for eagles. Now our family car drives are become legendary and this one did not disappoint. Our conversation included the following:

John: If I go outside will God talk to me?
The replies to this question include the discussion of dreams, visions, the Bible and Islam.

The next topic was introduced by Ashley: If Uncle Buddy & Aunt Kristen get put in jail would baby Lydia have to go to an orphanage? (FYI, our relatives are NOT criminals; there is a logical reason that they could someday possibly go to jail. You'll just have to trust me.)
We got to talk about families--in particular Lydia's--in response to this question.

John: Why do cats eat birds?
Mom: God made them that way.
John: So do pussycats eat birds and just regular cats eat mice?
Mom: They are the same animal.
Ashley: If we had a cat that lived with us (her dream pet) and we had a mouse in the house I bet the cat would eat it.
Sara: EWWWWW, that is really gross.
John: A seagull is just like an eagle only it is white. (John has been really thrown for a loop during our eagle watching because eagle and seagull sound so much alike. He's convinced they have to be very closely related. We've covered this topic on many, many other drives.)

As you can see we covered varied topics and so I definitely think it was worth the gas money.

Some of the best conversations with Mom and Dad happened in the car on the way to our various activities. Glad you're recording some of the comments - they're priceless. :)
