Once upon a time, in a world that feels far removed from today, I would grab my tiny purse, skip out of the house, and jump into my car without a second thought. My vehicle was simply a way to get from point A to point B, whether it was for brunch with friends or a quick coffee run. Fast forward to now, and let’s just say things are a bit different—and a lot messier.
Here are 33 musings that cross my mind while I’m behind the wheel:
- What on earth is that smell?
- I really need to remember to leave the windows cracked at night to air this thing out.
- When will my child learn to buckle themselves in?
- I should definitely keep some large trash bags in here.
- Why are my cup holders perpetually filled to the brim?
- Maybe I need more cup holders.
- Can you even buy extra cup holders for cars? I wonder if stroller cup holders would fit somewhere.
- No, we are NOT listening to Disney Radio again.
- I can never find a pen when I need one.
- Do you think the bank will take a check written in crayon…?
- I should probably toss out yesterday’s fast food wrappers before we hit the drive-thru again.
- Maybe that odor is just a lost chicken nugget hiding under the seats.
- Why is my steering wheel so sticky?
- Every place should have a drive-through! I’d drive across town to visit the drive-through dry cleaner without a second thought. If I opened a business, it would definitely have a drive-through.
- Ugh, that counting app is so annoying.
- I wonder when the baby will actually wear those headphones.
- Listen to him counting! He’s sooooo smart!
- The drive-thru attendant just called me by name. At least she knows I need extra sauce.
- I might just toss that iPad out the window if he doesn’t switch apps soon.
- Can I make it home before he starts demanding chicken nuggets?
- tears chicken nuggets into tiny pieces and hands them back
- Wait, does he have stickers?
- No stickers on my windows, please!
- Do we even own Goo Gone?
- Oh hey there, minivan dad! I see you’ve got a DVD player—I’m so envious.
- So many red lights, and so little time until nap time.
- I think my next car needs Wi-Fi so we can stream something other than that counting app.
- I wonder if this chicken nugget-laden salad is actually healthy. Should I just get a #1 combo?
- Oh no! Don’t you dare fall asleep in this car!
- singing loudly to keep him awake
- Almost there, almost there, almost there.
- Please transfer, please transfer, please transfer.
- Seriously, what is that smell?!
