Too Smart for School

This morning as we drove to the grocery store, another driver started to drift into my lane, so I laid my hand over the horn in case she started to come over further. Carter said, "Why did you almost honk the horn, Mommy?" I told him why, and he said, "That would be bad if they hit us. Their car would get smashed. And then the tow truck would have to come. And the ambulance, too. And they would get a ticket. " How does a 3 year old know so much about such things? I told him, "You're right, Carter. You're very smart." He responded, "I AM very smart. I don't even need to go to school."
