I'm pretty impressed by Sam's awareness of his surroundings. I was 15 years old and I didn't know how to get to Eyota from Rochester. Seriously! I spent my whole life with my nose in a book and didn't care at all about what was happening outside the car windows. Sam knows when to turn right at a light to get to the store or how to get home from downtown. I think it's awesome.
Today I tried quizzing him again. When we were a few lights from our house, I said, "Sam, do you know where we are?"
"Yep," he said. "We are in Mexico."
"What?" I said.
"Mexico," Sam repeated, and then laughed until he got hiccups.
Once he calmed down, I said, "Sam, you were pretty silly saying we were in Mexico. Where are we really?"
"Ha ha ha, Mom!" Sam said. "Mexico is funny. But really, we are in Colorado."
That sent him into another fit of giggles that didn't stop until we were home.
I wish I got the joke.

I think his jokes are hilarious! Of course I was amused at Emilie's sense of humor when she was four-year-old, too.
