Imagine my surprise when he told me that the tire I wanted them to fix had been purchased in 2003! WOW! That's an OLD tire! So, we bought a new one... but there was another bald tire that had been bought in 2004, so we bought a set. Talk about bargain me. I like to get the most out of a set of tires. Not only that, but I got MILEAGE back on them! I hadn't driven all the miles on them I'd been alloted. Wow. So, while Max and I waited (and I worried that there were 3 Discount Tire employees and 2 of us -- and I hoped they wouldn't go out of business), they rotated our tires, and Max and I touched the "wheels." They were pokey. Max was astounded and wandered around pretending/posing to be surprised.
Now, you should know, Max only "knows" one color. In Max's world, everything is green. It's not because he knows the color green. He has no idea what color green is. He loves to say the word green. Everything is green. Everything we looked at was green. For a half an hour, we wandered around, and we discussed tires. We discussed the BLACK tires. We discussed that they smelled of RUB-ber. BLACK. Rubber. What color are tiress, Max? Green? What do tires smell like, Max? Green. SIGH.
By the time we got home, I had given up. When his dad asked him what we had done, he said, "We looked a WHEELS.
I thought, "Hey! We did!"
His dad asked him, "How was it?"
He said, "They were BLACK."
I thought, "Yeah! They WERE!"
His dad said, "Wow! That's great!"
I said, "What did they smell like?"
Max said, "Rubber!"
I said, "What do you want to do next?"
He said, "Watch Chewbacca!"
I said, "OK! What color is he?"
He said, "Green."
