"Mommy, can you just smash into that car up there in front of us?" Oliver questions from the back seat. We're sitting in our van at the Tim Horton's drive-thru and I'm searching for words to respond to my son's aggressive request."Well, Sweetie," I begin, "first of all, that would really hurt the person in that car and it would hurt us too. It would also destroy his car and it would wreck our van, so we don't want to do that, do we?"
It's silent for several seconds. I glance at his thoughtful face in my rear view mirror and I'm guessing that my words of wisdom are sinking in and that he's reassessing. I edge forward in the line-up and he finally replies, "But it would be so much fun!"
Yep, a boy lives here.
