Huston's Theories

Last weekend Clarke took Huston to run some errands. Huston kept spotting cars left and right that were like Mimi's car, like Mommy's car, like Aunt Emily's car, and like all the other cars that he knows and has recognized since he was tiny. After spotting a car like Mimi's, he asked, "Why do they just have a car like Mimi's?" Clarke offered some explanation and Huston said, "Or maybe they just think Mimi's cool and want to have a car like hers."

During their errand running they went to O'Reilly's for some new tail lights for Clarke's car. As they pulled up to the store a huge ball of flame erupted from some guy's car as he was working on it in the parking lot. Clarke pulled away to a safe distance until it was under control, and Huston asked, "Why is there fire coming out of that guy's car?" Clarke told him something about how the car was broken, but Huston had his own theories. He said, "Maybe he just likes fire," or, my favorite, "Maybe he just wants to cook some hot dogs."
