Stuck!

Just a funny conversation Kelly & I had the other day....I was driving Kelly to daycare one morning last week, going south on the 5 Fwy. We hit it at a particularly busy time, so even though daycare is just one little exit south, we were sitting stopped in the slow lane in traffic. This is one of many examples of how I as a parent can sometimes overcomplicate explanations or try to describe something in too many ways. But when Kelly gets it, she reminds me of a much simpler way I could have described it!
Our talk went like this:

Kelly: "MOMMY! Look at all the CARS!"
Me: "Yes, sweetie, there are a LOT of cars on the highway today, huh?"
Kelly: "Yeeah! .... They not moving!"
Me: "Yep. That's right. We're all just sitting here. This is called TRAFFIC, Kelly. That is when a whole bunch of cars are all trying to go someplace together and there are too many, so no one can move. Can you say TRAFFIC?"
Kelly: "TWAFIK!!"
Me: "Yeeeah, baby that's it!"
Kelly: Looking around at the cars...thinking for a moment.... then, "Mommy the cars awr STUCK!!!
Me: Laughing. "That's right baby! We're STUCK!"
Kelly: Smiling and looking very proud of herself. "Yeeah, stuck!"
