Country Boy

This was our conversation with our youngest son while driving him into town so he could spend his some of his Christmas money on a Nascar game.

Papa- So why do you want a Nascar    game? Nascar is boring, take a left turn, left turn again, and again.

Ian-Nascar is awesome! Since I like Nascar I guess that means I'm more country than you!

Mama-(looking at papa and sarcasticly says-) He's got you there.

Papa-You're not more country than me,  you city slicker! How was Nascar even started? -The history of it.

Ian-That's easy. They started on dirt tracks, then eventually moved to asphalt tracks.

Papa-No. That's not what I'm asking.

Papa & Mama (simultaneously)-It was from bootlegging.

Ian (looking confused)-What?!

Mama- Back in the days alcohol was illegal.

Papa- It was called Prohibition.

Mama- The drivers, bootlegging the alcohol,  would do whatever they could to speed up their cars, and once Prohibition was over they eventually started racing against one another to see who's car was the fastest.

Ian- Cool.
