Victor is very interested in cars. How fast they go, and why. What kind of fuel they use, and why. How many exhaust pipes they have, and why. Whether other cars are faster than our car, and why.
Lately, he has been using speedometers to decide which car is the fastest. He peers into parked cars to see the maximum speed indicated by their speedometers. Then he tells me how it compares to our van (100) or my Camry (140--yeah, right).
These discussions are constant as we drive.
Today, I banned the topic of cars. Victor was stunned. I asked him if there was something else he'd like to discuss.
He suggested trucks.
I extended the ban to all vehicles.
He suggested lawnmowers.
So we discussed lawnmowers. Specifically, ride-on lawnmowers.
