…from the driver’s seat.  I had been introducing the concept of a “gentleman” to Judah.

“Men are big mans, Judah, and when they are gentle to us then they are a gentleman.  You have to be gentle, Judah.” (Ariel)

“Yeah, but I’m gonna be a man an’ shoot fire at them with my hose.”  (Judah)

“I think you mean a fireman, Judah.”  Me

“Yeah.” J

“No, Judah, because when people are on fire then that’s dangerous for them, so the fireman has to shoot water at them with his hose so that the fire is not so hot, so they don’t get burned as bad.  So you’re not gonna shoot fire out of the hose, right?” A

“Yeah, I’m gonna shoot the water out of the hose and the fire out of the hose at the people.”  J

Ariel restates her explanation.

“But Ariel, that doesn’t make sense!”  J

“NO, JUDAH!  IT DOES MAKE SENSE!!!  YOU’RE WRONG!”

At this point I intervened.  I think the world looks different from 40″ tall.  There’s a lot out there, and not all of it makes sense.
