Reed: OK School bus driver! Hey, school buses don't have seatbelts.
M: They don't? How do you know that?
R: I learned it from the Berenstein Bears book!
M: Oh... hmmm interesting. I wonder why they don't have seatbelts...
R: Because they don't get into car accidents.
(We watched the news last night. There was a story about a school bus accident in Brighton. After the news, there was a show like ET and they showed stories about weddings gone bad - including one where the bride was arrested and there was footage of her in the jail cell. Apparently Reed was watching.)
M: They DO get into accidents though sometimes. There was a bus accident yesterday! No one on the bus got hurt though thankfully. We saw it on the news, remember?
R: Oh yeah. I saw that. Did the bus catch on fire?
M: NO! Why do you think that?
R: Because the firemen came!
M: No, the firemen came to help out and make sure everyone got out safe.
R: And then the police came and arrested them?
M: No... they police came to help out too.
R: Then why was that lady in jail?
M: What lady? ohhhhh the lady in the dress?
R: Yeah! That lady!
M: ummmm. I don't remember why she was in jail Reed. I think she made some bad choices.
R: What kind of bad choices?
M: I don't remember.
M: I don't remember.
R: Mom. Listen. You need to start remembering things. You need to pay attention to why that lady was in jail and when I ask you about it later, you need to try and remember.
M: laughing under my breath.... um. I'm sorry Reed. I'll try to be better. I was cooking dinner at the same time!
R: Ok - but next time, you need to remember.
Sound familiar EMX?
