They wish!

Owen, what should we get Mrs. Chris and Mrs. Mary Ellen for a Christmas present?

Mommy should we make them a card???

Oh, yes, we will definitely do that.  Good idea.  Do you have any ideas of what they would like for a present along with their card?

[Thinking with furrowed brow]  I know, I know!  They would like a car to drive in!  They would love that!  [Pause] But that would take a lot of wrapping paper.  But they really do need a car to drive in.  They don't have one maybe.

While the conversation in itself is funny, what was just as funny was figuring out later that Owen seems to think that his teachers live in the classroom and never leave...no concept of them having families or lives outside of their preschool gig!  So he was kindly wishing for them a car so they could get out a little.  So sweet!  Would sure be nice to be able to fulfill such a kind wish...wouldn't they be surprised :O

as one who shared a house with a teacher who got lots of USELESS gifts, I'd say pretty confidently that teachers gift cards =)
