Conversation With My Soon-To-Be Three Year Old

So we're driving along and Ben sees this guy walking along the side of the road. This is the conversation we had:

Ben: "Mama, why is that guy walking when it's cold? It's too cold."

Me: "Well, maybe he doesn't have a car, honey."

Ben: "Why doesn't he have a car?"

Me: "Maybe he can't afford one. Cars are very expensive. Not everyone can afford to buy one, love."

Ben: "Why can't he afford one? He has no money? Why doesn't he get money and then he can buy one?"

Me: "Maybe he can't get to a job without a car, so he can't make money, and he can't get a car without the job to make money." (by now I'm getting a bit of a headache.)

Ben: (Pause and a sigh. Throws his little arms in the air) "Well, where's Santa Claus?"

He can make me laugh no matter what. I love my little bean.
