Vocabulary lesson...

Here is a new term for you all (according to Tyler).....
Cadillac: A herd of cows

As we were driving Tyler started asking me about cars.
Tyler:Mom what kind of car did Crystal drive? The one that she wrecked?
Me: It was a Buick
Tyler: What color was it?
Me: I can't remember, either blue or gray.
Tyler: What's a Buick?
Me: It's a kind of car.
Tyler: Is that what Grandma Bev drives?
Me: No, Grandma Bev drives a Cadillac.
Tyler: A Cadillac.....but that's a herd of cows!
Me: A herd of cows? No it's a type of car.
Tyler: Well then Ms. Beatty lied to me.

Me: I doubt Ms. Beatty lied to you, what did she say?
Tyler: That cattle is a herd of cows.
Me: Yes, I guess that's true, but cattle and a cadillac are two different words.

It was quite the conversation trying to figure out what he was talking about!
