Red Light, Slow Down

Once we were in a toy store where Zusha played with a dashboard toy, narrated by Barney the Dinosaur. One of the buttons said,
"Green light- Go!
Yellow light- Slow down!
Red light- Stop!"

So in the park today, Zusha was randomly reciting, "Red light, slow down; yellow light, go!" (Hey, he's from New York!)
There was a 6 year old girl playing nearby who decided to set things straight.
"No," she said, "red light STOP! Yellow light slow down."
Zusha still stood by his statement.
"No, dinosaur said- red light slow down!"
They had this debate the entire time they were playing.
The girl even asked him, "Does your Tatty have a car?"
"No."
"So when he gets a car, you will see that he will stop at a red light."
Then she asked me if this is the way they taught him at school!
They had fun playing together.
