Kid asked me what 3 letter word makes a girl become a woman? It was a riddle for a game he was playing. Many possibilities here! 30 minutes later, he came back and said he figured it out. AGE! Makes perfect sense :)
While at a travel agency, I picked up a flyer for a tour of Egypt featuring a photo of the Giant Sphinx. The kid knew the Sphynx through Super Mario Odyssey, as the NPC that moves around different kingdoms asking quiz questions to Mario. When he saw the flyer, he was astounded... "You mean this Sphinx is REAL!?!" Yes son, let's go visit the real ones one day.

Had to miss the end of the F1 Monaco Grand Prix due to other commitments... so after the race, I decided to look up the results.
Me: "Oh look, Danny Ricciardo won the Monaco GP!"
Kid: "Did he do a shoey!?!"
My efforts at mentoring this budding F1 fan is finally paying off!
We took a day trip to Buffalo to visit the Eternal Flame Falls. At the border crossing, we met a friendly US border control agent, who spent a minute to warn us on the dangers around the Falls, especially given the rain the previous day. Afterwards, he wrapped up the conversation with: "Are you bringing anything to USA?" I answered: "Nope". Kid in the back, who was listening in on our conversation, said to our immediate horror "What do you mean?!? We're bringing something!" We had a car full of chips and snacks, etc. :D
