We were "blessed" with a heavy dusting of snow at some point early this morning so everything is mostly white outside. I thought J would be intrigued by the change of scenery, so I opened the blinds this morning to reveal the small accumulation of snow to him. The following verbal transaction ensued:
Me: "Jonas look! What's out there? What do you see?"
J: *gasps* *smiles*
Me: "What do you see?"
J: *points* "Twuck!"
Me: "What's the white stuff? See? Look, everything is white."
J: "White."
Me: "Yeah, its called snow. Can you say 'snow'? .... Snow. ... Jonas, can you say 'snow'?"
J: "Issa kina white?"
Me: "Sure, its a kind of white. Its called 'snow'!"
J: "So!"
Me: "Yeah! Snow!"
J: "Twuck! Issa white twuck! Car. Issa white car!"
Me: *facepalm*
Ah children...they see the obvious when we parents are attempting to show them the sublime.

Obviously the most important thing was the car and truck, not the snow. Who knew?
