Timing

I was on a tram this morning, only going about 4 or 5 stops so I stood by the door. It pulls in a tram stop and the last ones to get in was a young mum and a little boy, probably about 3 years old, running late by the sound of it and on the way to nursery before she dashed off to work. As the doors closed and the tram strarted moving the little boy who had clearly been trying to tell his mummy something but it was coming out as a whine finally got her attention and said ‘but we didn’t beep the car’...followed by his mummy realising what he’d just said and repeating ‘we didn’t beep the car...’

    Right. Makes more sense now. I thought it meant beep the horn!
