The other day while we were driving to preschool, Moose started asking me questions about what he saw on the road. We ended up having a full on DMV lesson. It was kinda funny after. He was asking about the different road signs and what they meant, and why we could go when there were still some red lights. It was pretty interesting explaining to him how there are different lanes, and each one has its own light. He's learned quite a bit about traffic signs/signals already, so it was kinda funny to see him get more in depth.
Lately, the hubs has been very sneaky about being able to talk about work stuff while we eat dinner. I noticed it a while ago, and thought to myself how very clever he is. It's so hard to talk anything serious with Moose at the table because he constantly interrupts and wants to know what words mean. Or he'll ask clarifying questions that would require in-depth answers to really answer properly. Anywho, so this is the hub's new tactic. Whenever he wants to chat about something that happened at work, he directs his conversation at Moose. He'll say to him, "Moose, guess what happened at work today." Then he'll proceed to "dumb down" his version of the story so that Moose can understand the generals, and I'm able to ask the occasional question without constantly being interrupted. It works brilliantly. Sometimes he'll get his fill of being talked to, and we can just continue the conversation like a normal adult would, which is also nice. Everytime he does it now, I laugh. He'll direct his conversation at Moose, but glance at me and I can't help but smile. The hubs is so sneaky. :)
