far out

Nathan has been interested in the high-beams of the car lately. He's had me click them on and off so he can see the different light locations while standing in front of the parked car. He's had me switch them on and off while driving at night to see the difference. He's inquired about the purpose of them and how they differ from the fog lights some cars have. Today, in broad daylight, he informed me, "Dad, y'know what I'm going to call those high-beams? I'm gonna call them 'far-beams', because they help you see really far at night!" Far-out!
