Further Hilarity
Boy-O posted this one in comments, but it's too good not to share:
N: Yesterday, when we were walking the dogs, we saw five cars with flat tires.
Boy-O: Oh. Sounds like some kids were being delinquent in the neighborhood.
T: What Dalinquint mean?
Boy-O: It means not-doing-what-you're-supposed to.
N: Oh! Like driving too fast.
Boy-O: Sure, that would be delinquent.
T: Or you could drive over a piece of glass.
Boy-O: What?
N: Or, like, when you're driving and Jezebel jumps on you and you start driving all crazy.
Boy-O: NO! I mean, no. Being delinquent is not-doing-what-you're-supposed to do. Like not doing your homework, or like hitting your brother or sister.
N and T: Oh.
(N and T make consternated faces, clearly thinking: How does hitting my sister make me get a flat tire?)
Boy-O: I meant that it looks like some kids were going through the neighborhood stabbing tires with a knife....
Boy-O (cont'd): Which is bad.
N: Oh! `Cause like if someone comes up behind you and you don't see them and you turn around. You could hurt somebody.
Boy-O: NO! I mean yes. I mean no! I mean, yes, you need to be careful when you're slashing someone's tires... DON'T SLASH PEOPLES' TIRES!

Wow, I haven't been by in a while, and the first thing I get to have, is a big laugh. That exchange is hilarious. I love how kids try to make mental connections; it keeps you on your toes.
