Speaking of my intelligent son...

Today as we were walking to the post office, a mobile crane drove by.  Eliot asked me what mobile meant, so I explained about how some things are mobile, and some things are immobile.  Then we started classifying the objects around us as either mobile or immobile.  Eliot was doing a great job with his new words, until I asked him, "What about that tree?  Is is mobile or immobile?"

He hesitated a lot, and so I said, "Eliot, a tree is immobile."


He thought about this for a second, then he said, "But mommy, what about when the wind blows?"
