“Mom.”
“Yes?”
“I’ve got something to tell you.”
I turn down the car radio so I can hear him from the back seat. At 5, his voice is still small and soft enough that I can’t always understand what he’s trying to say.
“What?”
“Light houses don’t have people anymore. They’re controlled by computers.”
“What doesn’t have people anymore?”
“Lighthouses! They don’t have people anymore! They’re controlled by computers!”
“Umh…okay.”
“Did you know that?”
“No.”
“Well, it’s true.”
He has never even seen the ocean before. The only lighthouse he has ever seen is the pretend one that is part of a seafood restaurant close to us. I also know he can’t read yet, so it’s not like he’s been reading up on lighthouses.
“Did your father tell you that?”
“Yes. He did.”
“Then I’ll take your word for it.”
“Okay. Good. I just wanted you to know.”
And that was all he had to say on the matter.
