Red Means STOP!

Parker recently learned about the red, green and yellow stop lights. He has made it his job to inform us of the color of lights we're coming up on well in advance. He takes his job very seriously. We were driving to the circus and the light gave us a green left turn arrow but also still had a red light with it. Parker panicked.
"Daddy, STOP! DADDY! STOP! STOP!"
Seriously. No joke.
The other day he did the same thing to me when I turned right on red.
I explained the rules of turning to him and he seemed okay with it.... for a little bit.
Last night Caleb was driving us and the light was yellow, but Parker likes to call it orange. He told Caleb he needed to slow down. I told Parker sometimes it means to speed up.
Needless to say, there is NEVER a dull moment around with inquisitive Parker. :)

Let me tell you: this can get annoying if you have multiple children screaming at you from the backseat that you have to stop because the left turn light is red, especially if you're not turning left. True story.

Happy late birthday, by the way! :)
