Deep Thought, Odd Question

It was a typical lazy Sunday afternoon, all the chores were done and I finished helping Z with his science project on Sharks. I decided that I was going to watch a little TV and of course when I turn it on the same commercials for truck accident lawyers are on. While I was deciding what to watch, Z came over to join me. He sat there for a little while, very quiet BUT I could see that he was in deep thought and all of a sudden he comes out with......

"If you lived in a city that all of a sudden became flooded and you were in a car with a plant, would you still be able to breath?"

I sat there a little stunned, figuring he must have come up with this partly because of his project and partly because he watches ALOT of the Discovery Channel, but I was still really confused about what made him think that.

So I said "No honey, no such luck. But if your car is under water and your windows are up maybe you will have a little time before the car fills up with water. But the plant will not really help you to much."

Looking quite disappointed, he says "That stinks!"
