Maybe he's a little tired?

The other night Joel was reading "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" by C.S. Lewis to the kids before bed. The kids were coloring, and Joel was reading along about Prince Caspian, Edmund, Lucy, and Eustace on their adventure, and then without a pause and with eyes half open he just said, "Did you know our van has two air bags? It has an air bag on the passenger side as well. If one of them goes off all you have to do is replace the CO2 cartridge." When I heard that I looked up and was going to tell Caleb to be quiet because I thought he was asking Joel some weird question. But just then Joel said, "I think I just fell asleep." Joanna and I just died laughing telling him what he had just said and how he so smoothly went from reading to speaking totally unrelated nonsense. Maybe Joel needs to get a little more sleep? Oh, and by the way, Joel does know that if your air bag goes off you need to do more than just replace the CO2 cartridge!
