If I turned the volume up on the radio any louder my ears would bleed.
And I would still be able to hear the moaning drifting out of the back seat.
"My eyes... my eyes....
ACK!!! OW OW OW !!!!
I'm going blind... I can't see anything!
HELP ME!!!!"
"Jeffrey for Pete's sake, will you hold it down. I can't help that the sun is shining.
As soon as the we turn it will be out of your face.
In the mean time close your eyes."
"I can still see it with my eyes closed."
He's got super powers.
I didn't know that.
"I don't have any sun on my side of the car."
Thank you Katherine, but that doesn't help.
"Yeah, how come she gets to sit over there... there isn't any sun over there.
As a matter of fact there's never any sun on her side....That's not fair!"
"Thats because we like her better than you and thats one of the perks."
"MOM!"
"Jeffrey, I cannot control the sun.
Tomorrow you can trade sides with Katherine and she will ride over there."
Katherine, ever the team player, noted that she liked where she was sitting and didn't want to trade.
I informed her that she did.
Alex looked pained as he glanced at his watch.
"Is there a problem?"
"Umm, no, just wondering how much longer til we get there."
"You're not enjoying your ride this morning?"
"Well sure, I mean who wouldn't right?"
Exactly. Blaring music, whining children. What more could one ask for at 7:30 AM.
For starters, to be asleep in bed snuggled under my quilt. Quiet. Relaxed. Serene.
"MOM! Katherine made a face at me just because I said she looked funny with her hair pulled up in horsetail like that...."
"It's a PONY tail and I do NOT look funny. YOU look funny."
Tomorrow Jeff drives.
