Conversations with a 4.5 year old : The Car

H: this is the best car in the world, you know that?

b: why?

H: it’s automatic, and it’s the fastest; it’s better than the BMW and Camry

H: appa what’s the best car in the world?

b: Ferrari, McLauren…

H: this is better than them

b: OK

H: it needs no gas, no batteries

b: how does it get power?

H: from the sun

b: oh, so it’s solar powered?

H: yeah, and we don’t have to drive… it goes by itself

H: it’ll not even crash – it’ll never get a ticket

b: wow; so we just sit inside and it’ll drive by itself?

H: yup; it can also park by itself; if the music stops it means it has parked, and then we should get off

b: cool. how do we tell it where we want to go?

H: we don’t have to; it can read our mind

b: wow!

H: appa, do you like my orange car?

b: I love it!
