Car Conversation

There's nothing to spectacular about this conversation. Its a bit day-in-the-life. But it does show the types of discussions we have and how much fun I have talking to her.

Anya and I were driving over the 520 this morning. They have started building the new bridge so there are all manner of boats and cranes and pylons going up.

Dad: What do you think they're doing out there?
Kid: Fishing?
Dad: No, but that's a very good guess. They are building a new bridge.
Kid: Why are they all out on boats?
Dad: Well they have to be on boats so they can work. That's how they float.
Kid: But what if sharks come and smash into them?
Dad: Are there sharks in that water?
Kid: No.
Dad: Why not?
Kid: Because sharks live where there are lots of fish and there aren't any fish in there.
Dad: No, but it's a good guess.
Kid: because it's too cold?
Dad: Also a good guess, but sharks live in sone very cold water. Where do sharks live?
Kid: The sea.
Dad: ...and the sea is?
Kid: Salt water.
Dad: So....
Kid: The sharks don't live in it because it's fresh water. What kind of fish live in fresh water?
Dad: I don't know... Trout, bass, walleye, minnows, guppies...
Kid: Well then why does Areal call flounder a guppy? They live in the ocean.
Dad: That's a very good point. You have found your first cinematic inconsistency my dear.
