In His Car

Some background to a funny story: John often talks about having things in his "car." One of my favorites is that every time he sees a bee he says, "Don't worry, I have a bee suit in my car." Or if he breaks something, he comments that, "It's okay, I have some tools in my car."

This morning he was playing with a flashlight and I caught him pressing it up against his eye socket, shining the light in his eyeball.

Mama: "No, honey, don't shine the flashlight in your eyes."

John: "It's okay Mama."

Mama: "No, it's not okay. If you shine it in your eyes again, I'm going to take it away."

John: "It only hurts a little. It's okay."

Mama: "No, it's not okay. Shining a flashlight in your eyes damages your eyesight."

John: "I can get new sight."

Mama: "No, you can't just get new sight."

John: "Don't worry, I have new sight in my car!"
