Matty, The Enterprising Farmer

The following is a conversation between Matty and me while driving home from the gym. It's so fun to see the problem solving wheels in motion, even if the "solution" is ridiculous!

Matty: "Wook! Wook! Corn in the water."

Me: (admiring the lily pads in the water) "Sure, buddy." (Trust me, we have argued about this for months. He refuses to accept these green floating things as lily pads, and insists that they must be corn plants. In the water. Whatever, it is easier to capitulate. He'll figure it out someday.)

Matty: "How they pick?"

Me: "How are the farmers going to pick it?"

Matty: "With a combine boat."

Hmmmm....I am sure Mitch will be whipping one up out of Lego's before the end of the day!

a combine boat is a BRILLIANT idea. Invention #1 for Matty. Maybe the brothers Ferrario can pay their own way thru college...
