Gas Pedal...

the following is a true conversation between Noah and I on the way home from my moms last night...

Act 1:

It is WAY past bedtime and we are driving home after celebrating Aimee's birthday. Noah wants the light on in the car and I keep telling him "no" because I can't see the road when the inside light is on. Noah is not happy with my decision and keeps asking over and over...

Noah: Mom pleeeeeeeease turn the light on, I can't see (repeat many times)

Meghan: (firmly) Noah, we are NOT turning the light on because I can't see the road with it on (also repeat many times).

Noah: I want it on cause I can't see

Meghan: Noah, it is dangerous to drive with the light on.

Noah: Will a police man give you a ticket?

Meghan: Yes, he could

Noah: Will he take you to jail?

Meghan: I guess he could if i don't follow directions. Jail is like timeout.

(long pause)

Noah: Then I will have to drive?

Meghan: (laughing) yes, then you would have to drive

(even longer pause)

Noah: (a very big sigh)..."well which one is the gas pedal?"
