Scolded

My 5 year old son scolded me yesterday evening - "You wasted gas Dad."

My fatal error.

Months ago . . . Noah tried to get me to start the car, for no particular reason as we waiting for someone. I told him that we don't let the car run if we're not using it, because it wastes gas.
It's getting cold here in Alaska as fall turns into winter . . . I wonder how many people will get an education about gas consumption from Noah in the next few months.
