While we were driving to Home Depot last Monday, Kallie commented that it would be really cool if cars had sidewalks to go on. I replied that they do--they're called roads. After a slight bit of protesting, she finally came to the realization that sidewalks are for people what roads are for cars.
Then, as we were heading home from the 4 hour shopping trip, she said, "Mom, I think roads should be called "middle drives." You know, because we drive in the middle." I was actually quite surprised by her observation--but it made complete sense! A sidewalk is on the side and used for walking. So, it makes sense that a road would be a middle drive. It's always fun to be with my kids when something clicks for them!

That does make sense! And you know, it's fun to be with anyone when things click for them. My Mom was in her forties when she realized Birthdays are called Birthdays because it's the day of your birth. It never gets old!
Ha! Very clever. :)
