More revealing conversation

This occurred in the car coming home from Jucker Farms today.  We are in downtown Zurich going to pick up Chris from work.

Sarah:  "Mom, why are you stopping?  Why didn't you follow the hurry up sign?"

Me:  "What do you mean?  The light turned yellow, so I slowed down and stopped."

Sarah:  "I thought that meant hurry up."

Me:"No, the light turns yellow to warn you that it's going to turn red so you can slow down and get ready to stop."

Sarah:  "How do you know that?  Papa told me it means to hurry up."

Me:  "Well, when you learn how to drive, they teach you all the rules so you can be safe.  That is one of them."

A few minutes later, I hear this from the back seat…

Sarah:  "So when you're older who are you going to listen to, the teacher or Mom?"

Sophie:  "The teacher."

Sarah:  "Yeah, me too."
