Conversations with a Four Year-Old: Bluetooth Headsets

I should have seen this one coming.

TD: Daddy what does that man have in his ear?
Me: It's a Bluetooth headset.
TD: He looks funny.
Me: That's not a nice thing to say. Don't stare.
TD: Why does he have a Bluetooth headset.
Me: Because he's talking on the phone.
TD: What? That's not a phone!
Me: Well, he's not talking to himself.
TD: How do you know?
Me: I'm sure he's a very important man making a very important call.
TD: How do you know?
Me: Because nobody wants to have some stupid piece of plastic hanging out of their ear unless they have to.
TD: Then why does that lady and that kid and that guy have Bluetooth headsets? Are they important too? Aren't you important, Daddy?
Me: No, I'm just naturally funny looking.
