Mario Kart... again.

While driving in the car Cade asked me,
"Mom, when you were little, did you LOVE Mario Kart?"
Attempting to make this a teaching moment I answered,"I didn't play Mario Kart when I was little. I did other more fun and exciting things."
"Like what?"
"Well, I played outside with my friends, explored in my backyard, played games in the tree house, rode my bike, read books...those sorts of things."
"Oh, well you should have played Mario Kart all the time, Mom."
"Why?"
"Because Mario Kart is AWESOME!"
"What does awesome mean?"
"Awesome means cool."
"What does cool mean?"
"Well, it means like not the cold cool."
"So if it doesn't mean the cold cool, what does it mean?"
"Like cool. Cool means cool, Mom."

So much for that teaching moment.
