The drive was not cute this morning. It really shouldn't take over 4 hours to drive about 145 miles. Seriously. Not cool. Plus with the icky rain the whole way. Have I mentioned recently I'm totally remembering why so many people are diagnosed with Seasonal Affective Disorder in the Pacific Northwest? Ugh.
Still, I did manage to find three bright points in the drive, the first two of which are original quotes from Monkey Boy:
#1 - [waving a Red Vine over his head] "Mommy, did you know that some people call these licorice? That's because they're made of liquid..." Clearly.
#2 - [after asking me to pause the CD and listen intently (I heard nothing)] "Mommy, do you know why I can't snap loud? It's because I talk too loud. There's not enough sound left to come out my fingers." His scientific theories are certainly arresting, if not plausible.
#3 - Monkey is now officially addicted to the Hallelujah Chorus - yessss!!! And yes, I do listen to classical music while I drive, not because I think it reduces my road rage, because I like to sing along! "Forrrrrrrr the Lord GOD om-NIIIIIII-po-tent reeeeeeeeeigneth!" ;-)
Thank you, Jesus, the drive is over!!! Until Sunday, anyway :-P
Oh my goodness - his scientific reasoning is wonderful. I really love that you shared these!!!
ReplyDeleteAs for the drive, you have my condolences. Freshman year was an eight hour drive from SEA to PDX. I don't know how it's possible to drive so slow for so long between two cities with relatively little in between.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! Hello to the fam. :)
