Audi

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Myles and I saw our friend Alan in the lift of our apartment building. Myles has an interest in cars, so when Alan left I mentioned that he has a nice Audi. My little guy looked up at me a little strangely, and asked what did it look like so I responded it’s a nice sporty Audi TT. Aah, to this he was a bit relieved. Myles thought I had said Alan had an “outtie” – Australian slang for an unusual belly button that protrudes out instead of going in.
NB: I cannot confirm whether Alan’s belly button goes in or out.

My four year old was driving with me on an errand when he spotted a taxi driving along beside us. He proudly explained and demonstrated how you get a taxi driver’s attention by waving your hand.

I then asked, and what do cricket umpires do with their arms when the batsment hits the ball into the fence.  He triumphantly did the boundary motions – waving his arm from left to right, and back.

He then had another cricket question for me, “What do you do at the cricket when the police take away your  beach ball?” He got it in one, “BOOOOOO!”

We were impressed again in a later trip that same day.  Despite the roundabout being 100 metres in front of us, he was able to spot an Audi just like the matchbox car I bought for him the night before. Of course it wasn’t exactly the same.  He was able to tell us it was a different colour, and it was bigger.
