Tidbit - Driving for 4 year olds

This morning, I was sitting in the car with my uncle fetching his 4-year old son to kindy. On the way, as we were approaching a traffic light, he leaned forward to his dad,

"爸爸, 你看到紅灯的時候哦... 如果你忘記停哦, 按brake那個車就停了咯!"
(Daddy, when you see the red light, and you forgot to stop; step on the brake and then the car will stop!)

Then my brother joined in the fun (make sound effects), and pretended to drive along with my cousin (who was by now accompanying his new found wisdom with actions - his leg pushing against the little litter box in the center). Teaching him how to manoeuvre following his dad, we prompted him to turn at every corner. Then at one junction,

"阿芫, 要轉了咯... 為什麼你沒轉?"
(Ah Yuan, we need to turn, how come you're not turning?)

"... 我要用飛機翅膀!"
(... I want to use aeroplane's wings!)

"小芫, 為什麼你駕車突然會變飛機的?"
(Little Yuan, why did your car suddenly become an aeroplane?)

"因為我是神奇校車麻!"
(Because I'm the magical school bus!)

XD LOL
