We’re on our way to drop off Kevin, which involves driving by the “water treatment park” Archie starts talking about it- remembering the time he and I wandered around the park and inspected the various waterfalls. Then he has a brilliant idea:
Lib at waer ceen place. (live at the water cleaning place)
Me: You want to live at the water treatment park?
Archie: Me, Mommy lib at waer ceen place. (Me and Mommy live at the water cleaning place)
Me: You want to live at the water treatment park with me?
Archie: Yum. Daddy not lib at waer ceen place. (yes, Daddy will not live at the Water cleaning place)
Me: Ah. Daddy won’t live there? What about Carter?
Archie: Yum. Carter lib waer ceen place. (yes, Carter will have his residence at the Water Treatment plant)
Me: I’ll miss Daddy. He gives me my good night kisses. Where will Daddy live?
Archie: ummm I dunno. (pause) Daddy lib at cool. (Daddy lives at school)
Archie then puckered up for a good-bye kiss as Daddy hopped out of the car.
