Of course we're not there. If we were there I would not keep driving would I?
Don't speak to them like that. You're upsetting them.
Upsetting them? Me? They've been going on ever since we left home. Are we there yet ... are we there yet ... Can we stop to go to the toilet ... I am hungry ... I'm thirsty ... Why couldn't they go to the toilet before we left home?
Don't shout. You'll traumatise them for the rest of their lives with your shouting.
Are you kidding me? Traumatise them? What about what they are doing to me? I can't concentrate on my driving with their constant nattering and continuous demands for food drinks and toilets.
Now look what you've done! You've made them cry ... Here ... dry your tears. Don't worry about him, he is highly stressed and in some pain since they cut off that pimple on his backside. There ... that made you smile ... who's got a pimple on his bum? He has ...
Very funny.
At least I managed to soothe them and calmed them down. You really need to cool down a little and be more understanding. They can't help it at their age.
I guess you're right ... anyway ... we've now arrived at our destination as the GPS machine would say.
Here we are Mom and Dad. We've arrived back at the Seniors Home. We'll see you again next week perhaps. Bye.
...we have a nine year old granddaughter who goes to our cabin in the mountains with her family. She complains that it's such a long dive. Grandma said that when we go, we talk along the way. Our granddaughter asked what do you talk about?
ReplyDeleteI think one way to pass the time is to play games whilst driving; like "I spy with my little eye ..."
DeleteGod bless.
My daughter used to look for certain coloured cars and count them. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, me too. Also, another game is to name things we see in alphabetical order.
DeleteGod bless, Bill.
Good turn about! Lately I'm beginning to resemble my late grandmother (in thought, word and deed) ... and it terrifies me.
ReplyDeleteIt should not terrify you that your grandmother was a wonderful lady.
DeleteGod bless, Mevely.
I love a good surprise ending!
ReplyDeleteKeep smiling, Kathy. God bless.
DeleteLike Kathy, I didn't see that ending coming, Victor. Very clever!!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
I didn't see the ending either, Martha. One moment I was driving and the next we'd arrived at the Seniors Home.
DeleteGod bless always.
A surprise ending. :)
ReplyDeleteWhen our kids were little I made a long list of things to find along the way as we drove - kind of like a scavenger hunt.
Great idea to keep the kids entertained. I was surprised too that when we arrived they no longer wanted to go to the toilet. Our parents ran away to play with their friends on the swings and round-abouts.
DeleteGod bless, Happyone.
It's a good thing you wasn't driving across the Nullarbor in Australia, you would have to drive some distance to find a toilet.
ReplyDeleteThat's true, Brenda. Did you know that dogs in the desert run fast because the trees are further apart?
DeleteGod bless.
