Things Overheard in the Car

Mom: Does Sally (Ava's friend Bella's dog) have any new clothes?

Bella: She has lots of clothes! Two swimsuits, and a running suit, and a pink coat, and others, too.

Mom: Does Sally like to wear her clothes?

Ava: No way, Mom! She doesn't even like it when we try to put on even her tank top!


Noah: Guess where I'm going to live when I grow up?

Mom: Where?

Noah: In the middle of the woods. In a trailer.

Mom: What do you think your wife might say about that?

Noah: Well, I could just go there on the weekends with my three dogs.

Mom: In a trailer?

Noah: Actually, I'm going to build a log house.

On a previous discussion about his future, Noah once said he was going to own a muscle car and live in a duplex so his best friend Isaac could live next door. Last year, he announced he was going to own a German Shepherd and a Rhodesian Ridgeback and a big 4WD Chevy, the kind with the back window that opened so that his dogs could stick their heads through. AND, he was going to build a big metal cage in the back so the dogs wouldn't fall out. FURTHERMORE, he was going to get all that gear before getting married because there was the chance his wife might not let him have all that stuff if he married her first. How's that for thinking ahead?

(I think there's a bit of Montana in that boy somewhere)
