The logic of a pre-schooler - or, why do I have to sit in a car seat???

Monkey: "Why can't I sit in a big seat?  I'm a big girl now."
Me: "Because the police officers and your mommy and daddy want to make sure that you stay safe in the car and your car seat is the best way to keep you safe.  Besides, if you don't sit in your car seat, we'll get in trouble with the police officer and they'll give us a ticket."
Monkey:  "Wellll, I think that's OK if they give us a ticket because we can just go see a movie with the ticket."
Me:  "Fair point."
