Since we're going to Florida next week, I was explaining to my little guy, Clay, that we'd be flying on a big airplane to get there.
ME: We're going on an airplane because Florida is far, far away.
AUSTIN: Like in Shrek.
ME: No, it's even farther. Shrek got to Far Far Away in an onion carriage. We're taking a plane.
AUSTIN: I like onions. Can I have one now?
ME: An onion?? A raw onion??
AUSTIN: Yes. going to get an onion so he can eat it like an apple
ME: There's something wrong with you.
Anyway, as I was saying... we're going to fly in an airplane up in the sky, Clay!
CLAY: Can this many people go on a plane? holds up ten fingers
ME: Yes. Even more can go on it.
LEXI: But 1000 can't go on it or it won't be able to fly.
ME: Ummm ok.
CLAY: When the chicken gets on the plane, he'll get squished out.
OK, at this point, we all laugh prompting Clay to say...
CLAY: Why are you laughing? Is that a joke?
ME: I'm not sure, Clay. I'm not sure.
CLAY: You know how fast a plane can go?
ME: Really fast. Faster than a car.
CLAY: Can it go this fast runs across the room and crashes into the wall
ME: Ummm, yeah. I think it can go that fast.
CLAY: It's like a scary, scary caw.
ME: A scary, scary car? What's like a scary, scary car?
CLAY: Not a CAR! A CAW!
ME: What's a caw?
CLAY: flapping arms like wings A CAW! Like this! demonstrates flying
ME: A bird? A bird that goes "caw caw"?
CLAY: Yes! rolling eyes at my obvious slow wit
ME: A plane is like a scary bird?
CLAY: I don't know. That's what the man with the sticker said.
ME: Ohhh Kaay then.
I could be wrong, but I don't think he quite gets the concept of flying in a plane.
