(Barely) Keeping Up

Sounds heard from the back seat while driving to Maw Maw's today:

Mommy, look dat flag! Dats our Numerican flag, right, Mommy?

Why you go DIS way, Mama? Dis the way to Maw Maw's?

Why you turn left? Why dat's not left? Why dat's right?

Why you stop, Mommy? Why dat's a stop sign, Mommy?

A red light, Mama! You better STOP!

A GARBAGE TRUCK! DO YOU SEE THE GARBAGE TRUCK? IT'S A WHITE GARBAGE TRUCK!

A bus! I see a bus! Is dat Nee Nee's bus, Mama? Why dat's not Nee Nee's bus, Mama? Where dat bus going? It going home to eat lunch? Why buses eat lunch? Buses don't eat lunch! SILLY MAMA!

Hi, choo choo tracks! Why dere no train on the tracks, Mama? Why dere TWO tracks, Mama?

Why you gots to get gas, Mama? Why your car run out of gas if you don't get gas, Mama? Why you gots to drive to New Orleans, Mama?

Maw Maw's house! I see Maw Maw's house! I think Maw Maw wants to play trains wis me, and read books wis me, and play wis me! Maw Maw's my BEST friend, Mama!

BYE, Mama! DON'T BE LATE!!

(Paraphrased, with at least 20 conversations removed for the sanity of my readership.)
