Car Toys = store full of toy cars (a 4-year old's logic)

So, on Friday we had several errands to do and one of them was to go to Car Toys to see if the correct remote for our DVD player was in - when they installed it over a year ago they gave us the wrong remote and we didn't notice till now. Anyway, back to the story. My 4-year old, Mr. J, asked where we were going, so I rattled off the list: Home Depot, Car Toys, and Cost... "Car Toys!!!" he interjects, "get a car?"

"No, sweetie, there aren't toys there." I reply.

"Mom, car toys, go get car?"

"No, Buddy, this is not a store with toy cars, it is a store with toys for your car."
Which produced a very confused look from my little man.

Needless to say, this conversation went around and around a few times while we walked in the store, found out the remote wasn't in yet, and walked back to the truck. About at the same point I get the kids back in their carseats hubby returns from Home Depot and inquires as to the status of the remote. I told him it wasn't in yet and that they don't know when it will be in (to which he wasn't very happy about because somebody had told him it'd be in on Wednesday.) So, Daddy goes marching off to "talk" to someone at the store, to which J notices and exclaims, "Daddy go in car toys?!"

"Yes, he is."

"Get a toy car?!!!"

And it all started all over again.
