Car Talk

So, all five of us are in the same vehicle last night, having dropped off the larger vehicle for some maintenance. The air conditioning is not working, despite having been recharged a few short weeks ago. And although the dishwasher is also broken - it won't open and has clean dishes inside - the a/c is more of an emergency.

I'm not very good at relating car conversations to Mark after the fact. They never turn out to be quite so funny or awe inspiring. But, I try. I was trying to relate a conversation about slugs and Medium's dissertation about it's male and female organs. One thing led to another on this short trip and this is what came from the back seat:

Medium: "Daddy, have you ever met a eunuch?"
Large: "Daddy, have you ever met a hermaphrodite?"
Small: "Daddy, have you ever met a dentist?"

Sometimes, there is just no response to these kinds of questions.
