Today we were driving through the neighborhood admiring the construction vehicles and Bentley pointed at one asking, "What's that one, Mommy?".
I, being the gullible type I guess, thought he was actually asking me. It turns out he was actually just looking for entertainment. I wasn't entirely certain what it was so I said "Some type of tractor!".
I was told "No, Mommy. That's a front end loader. There's a bucket on the front of if that scoops up dirt.". And then, louder, "A FRONT END LOADER, NOT A TRACTOR MOMMY"!
Sheesh. I appreciate his detailed answer, of course. Maybe one of these days I'll get it all straight. Although, honestly, wasn't I right as well? Isn't a front end loader just a type of tractor? I googled it and google agrees with me. I think I deserve partial credit from the kid. But I doubt I'll get it!

Finn and Reid are really into trucks, etc. lately and they have this book that has a ton of different types of "tractors". I call them all tractors because I think it is ridiculous that they know 'excavactor' and 'front end loader'. I am sure I will be reliving your situation in a years time!
When do you guys head to Mexico?
I give you kudos, for whatever that means to you and especially to the two year old dictator of the house! :)
