A distinction between cars and people

There is a branch of our bank just over a 1/2 mile from our house. I had a deposit to make last week, and it was a beautiful day outside, so Micah and I ventured out and walked to the bank. What should've taken about 20-30 minutes turned into an hour walk, but it was a ton of fun, and good exercise. We played with sticks along the way, and talked a lot about safety in how to walk on sidewalks and hold hands while crossing the street. I kept hammering the point that "Only cars drive in the streets" and "we have to walk on the sidewalks." However, "when we need to cross the street we HAVE to hold hands." The little wheels in Micah's head were turning. All this talk about cars, streets and people holding hands while crossing the street made him realize something very different between what cars and people do in the streets. He plainly stated, "cars don't hold hands."
