My clever middle boy
The usual auto driving/let’s learn a lesson/no let’s do comedy that is my life:
A Fire Paramedics truck passes us.
Evan: Oh.. a Firebulance.
Me: Haha.. I can see that.. halfway between a fire truck and an ambulance. But they call that a Paramedic truck.
ME: Anyone wonder why they might call it a Paramedic truck?
As my brain frantically searches two years of useless high school Latin for the meaning of the word “para”
Evan: Cuz they use parachutes to get places?
ME: No, silly. You know the meaning of the word medic.. so maybe the word Para has something to do with it.
As the worst speller in the world he guesses….
Evan: Cuz there’s always two of them?
Oh! My! God! Pair-a-medics! Hahahahahaha!
