Today was a "worry" day :( for Lucas. He has these days when he thinks too hard and worries about everyone and everything. It's hard to out guess and usually passes as long as we hold onto our patience and answer each worry.
Mike took us out to supper at a favorite Mexican restaurant several towns away from us. The boys love it cause they can order double rice - go figure. There is construction and a one lane road with a traffic light. Cars back up quite a bit.
On our way home we were waiting in line behind, I'm guessing, 10 cars and there was a string of cars coming from the other direction, when we here from the backseat, "Mom where those people sleep at dark time?" Ok, I wasn't paying attention, so instead of the quick, satisfying answer I said, "what people?" Thus started the ever increasing volume of "people, those people, sleep where they sleep? They have bed? They have house? Sleep in car?" Once we figured he was worried about all the people being out at night when he thought they should be home in bed all became clear and he was satisfied to know they were probably just like us, on their way to their homes for bedtime.
I don't remember car trips even short ones being such mind benders before Lucas and Eli. With the girls we just knew to avoid driving by McDonalds, Walmart and the swimming pool and they rode happily (not quietly) but generally happy.
