Holidays and Traffic Signs
November 11th, 2008Since today is Veterans' Day, Sebastian has the day off of school. Last night as we were discussing plans for today, Sebastian overheard us discussing the vacation day. That's when he asked the classic question:
"Why do we have school off for Veterinarians' Day?"
So we had a good laugh, explained to Sebastian about Veterans' Day, and talked about adding a day just for Veterinarians.
Later that night on a separate car trip, we passed a Bump road sign near some construction. This must have reminded Sebastian of an instance a month before where we saw an oddly-labeled sign that cracked my wife and I up for quite a while. So Sebastian asked:
"Dad, why did you think it was so funny that the sign said, 'Speed Hump' instead of 'Speed Bump'?"
Instead of a straightforward explanation, this one just ended with, "I'll explain that to you later." Little does he know that later either means "When you're much older" or "Never".
