During an art lesson together, we talked about the importance of using your imagination when creating art.  So, I asked our son, "Do you have an imagination?"

Echo pays close attention to the routes I take while he is riding in the car.  One day this week, I got stuck at a stoplight that often fails to recognize when a car is in the left turn lane.  After waiting through several cycles, I usually end up moving over into the right turn lane, turning right, making a u-turn, and traveling a mile back to get through that light.  While driving home from the meeting yesterday, I took a different route, but it looked a lot like the previous one with a stoplight at the end of a highway exit ramp.  So, Echo said, "Mom, I thought you said you would never ever drive home this way again."
