Museum

Dexter and Ian went to the Museum last weekend and had a fabulous time exploring all the trains and race cars and airplanes. I was so grateful that Elissa and Jason took over all the Dexter lugging and lifting for me.

On the car ride home, Dexter started reenacting a conversation that, at first, was a complete mystery to me:

"That ball went into a cheese elevator!" (exclaimed with excitement)
"WHAT?! A cheese elevator?!" (higher, questioning inflection)
"Ohhhhhh, a cheese elevator." (calmly confirming)
"A ship is a boat." (matter of factly)
"WHAT?!" A ship is a boat?!" (higher, questioning inflection)
"Yes. A ship is a boat." (calm, confirming)

It took me a little while to figure out that this was a conversation between Ian and his Daddy that had taken place while Elissa and I were waiting in line to buy lunch for everyone in the cafe. The three of them had been watching a big exhibit where a metal ball goes through an intricate, dynamic maze of "all things Switzerland" while waiting for us to get the food. It was hilarious to hear how Dexter used his voice to act out the emotions related to this odd conversation.
