What not to try to do with your kid

Build a car at an automaker’s web-site. We didn’t get past choosing the color.

He tells me, “You don’t want to have it too bright, because that makes it noticeable when you’re doing some criminal speeding.”

I pick blue. OK, what color of interior? Cinnamon?

“No,” he says. “Black.”

“But,” I say, “in the summer, that makes the seats too hot to sit on.”

“No it won’t,” he says, “because you’re going to get the windows tinted.”

I close that window and go look at my blog.
