Cows sleep standing up
The other night after lights out, Henry and I were laying in his bed when he asked why people, who generally spend a good portion of their day vertical, sleep horizontally. (Guess what concepts they've been studying in school?) I said something along the lines of it being more comfortable, then I asked him what he thought about sleeping vertically and would he like to try it sometime. He said no, but then informed me that cows sleep vertically, unless they're shaped like garages, then they sleep horizontally. He was very adamant about the garage-shaped cow sleeping horizontally. Over the course of the conversation it became clear that he's deriving some of his cow facts from the movie Cars, which has cow-like tractors, as well as WordWorld. I briefly panicked that this was the only exposure to cows that he has had, but then quickly came to my senses.
Back to the garage-shaped cow. What's he talking about? I'm stumped.

You don't suppose his thinking about garage-shaped cows is somewhat along the lines of "Quarter up!"
