Makes (No) Sense to Me!
On the way to school this morning, my boys and I were talking about the news that General Motors will shut down it’s Saturn line later this year. I was explaining the impact this would have on many friends and even some family members back home in Middle Tennessee (home to Saturn’s manufacturing plant). Here’s how the rest of the conversation went down with my 12 year old:
Austin: So why are they shutting it down?
Me: Well buddy, my thoughts would be that they weren’t making the money they needed to off of that particular brand [insert three minute lesson on supply and demand here]. So, they are just going to stop making the car.
Austin: Man, WHAT is going on with this economy? First it’s Saturn, and then the phone companies are buying each other, and Tony Stewart doesn’t drive for Home Depot anymore!
Ummm…yeah. That’s the natural progression I made, as well. But this kid is in the gifted program, so somewhere in that genius brain I’m sure it made sense.
Any of you care to connect the dots?
um, a tear is running down my face right now. The fact that he knew that Tony Stewart is no longer with the Home Depot sponsor really just made me one of the proudest Student Pastors on the face of the earth.
Tex….i love you.
Not only is he not driving for Home Depot but he is driving a. . . Toyota. Austin, Our world is officially upside down.
