Molly is SUCH a back seat driver! Sometimes it's funny. Sometimes....well it gets old quickly. :)
Today we were at a red light, and she asked why all the cars (in front of us) had their headlights on.
Me: Headlights are in the front of cars to help them see in the dark or in the rain. The red lights you see in the back of those cars are called brake lights.
Molly: Why are the brake lights on?
Me: Brake lights come on when you push the brake in the car to stop the car. To stay stopped at the red light, the brakes need to stay on, so the brake lights stay on too.
Molly: Oh. They are brake lights. Not headlights...
As we approach the next light,
Molly: Mom! Put your brakes on. It's a red light!
Me: Yes, Molly. I see the light.
When the light turns green:
Molly: The light is green! Turn your brake lights off!
So... not only do I have her telling me what color the lights are, but now she's telling me when to put the brakes on. LOL. She's also a riot when it's raining. "Mom, slow down. Watch out for that puddle!!!"
