Tail engine...

Weston has entered the world of pretend conversations among his toys. I find eavesdropping on these conversations endlessly entertaining, although I can rarely remember them afterward, in part because they are frequently nonsensical.

But here is one that I managed to write down...

Mater: Tail engine? What's a tail engine?

Airplane: A tail engine helps the people not roll off the plane.

Mater: Why don't they roll out the plane?

Airplane: Because they have windows.

Mater: Oh.

--enter lightning mcqueen--

McQueen: Mater, what are you doing?

Mater: Talking to the airplane.

Conversation was then cut short, as he caught me watching him!

As an aside, I think that he was talking about how the tail of a plane stabilizes it, which his poppa told him about a long time ago.... but I can't be sure.
