Zoa's preschool site on the top of a small hill. When I back out each afternoon, I always fear someone will be flying over the hill and rear-end us...which would be potentially very bad considering it is back roads and people do speed on them often.
I always make sure Zoa is buckled because she is old enough to where she can do it by herself. Macie is already buckled in.
Today, I had to explain why we buckle up....
Me: "Zoa, are you buckled?"
Zoa: "UUUGGGGHHHHH."
Me: "Do you know why we buckle? We have to so in case we get into a wreck, nobody will fly out of the car and get hurt."
Zoa: "I could land on grass. Grass is soft."
Me: "But dirt is not. The ground is hard and you would still get hurt really badly."
Macie: "I could land on a trampoline. That would be okay!"
Oh, if only a trampoline was around!
It was eye-opening....you really do have to explain why we do things and how doing certain things actually serve a purpose.
Man, motherhood is a big job.

:o) Kids are so funny. Sounds like something mine would have said.
Isn't that funny? Makes sense, even though it's so not-going-to-happen...
I always turned around in the gravel lot she has. Alaina, that scares ME that you are backing out onto that road! AGGGHHH!!
