The Neverending Story

Here's a typical conversation when I drive Peanut around.

"Mama, why cars go on roads?"
"Not just cars; buses, motor cycles, lorries also travel on the road as they have wheels."
"Why?"
"So we can go to places in a short time"
"Why?"
"So you don't need to stay at home"
"Why"
"So you can go out with mama"
There was a pause. It was the opportunity/cue for me to break the chain of neverending questions with my own question.
"Why do you have so many questions? Why?"
Peanut pondered for a while and answered, "I cannot talk like you."

Less than 100metres away...

"Bicycles have wheels right?"
"Yes, they can go on the roads"
"My car cannot go on the road?"
"That's right. It's a toy car"

A short while later, at the lights,
"Mama, why do you stop?"
"Because it's red light"
"Why?"
"So the traffic on our left can go"
"Why?"
"We have to take turns."

Car rides are such a challenge! I simply love and hate them.
