Grace, 4 year old style

This morning's conversation:

Me: How come you're not taking Indy to preschool?

Bill: I just tried. I put Indy in the Volvo but the battery is dead.

Me: Huh??

Bill: Couldn't figure out what would kill the volvo that quickly until I saw a key in the ignition. Turned to 'ON'. Apparently that will do it.

Me: Uh, yeah, huh, interesting... Maybe I forgot to turn the car off yesterday. Maybe.

Asher: But that wastes energy mom!!!

Me: Yes Asher, I know, it was an accident. I didn't mean to leave it on all night.

Asher: That's ok mom. You're still making good choices. You can still have a treat.

So I'm off to find a treat. Don't want to disappoint him.

That is a great phrase - did you teach him to say that so you could eat extra treats, Tracy?

That is hilarious! And I think I can guess what the treat was. Peppermint mocha?

Took me forever to figure out how I left the car turned on. Actually, I first tried to figure out if there was any way that it was Bill who had been driving it yesterday, but no luck. Then remembered I had turned the car on so that I could move the front seat forward (it's electrical) to have room to put in a new car seat in the back. Apparently forgot to turn it off afterward...

And it wasn't just a peppermint mocha Bret, it was a half-caf, no whip, no foam, peppermint mocha. Just to clarify.
