Worn Out

This was the first trip we have taken where Dexter has started to ask, early and often, "are we there yet?" He was complaining, "I want to be home," and I started singing his complaints. Then, he had the idea to sing a song with me being his "helper". He sang verses about wanting to be home, riding in the car, wondering how long it would be until we got home, lamenting that it would be seven more hours until we got home, etc., etc., etc. At the end of each song, we all would clap and Dex would say, "Mommy, do you want to be my helper on another song?" At one point I suggested that Daddy could be he his helper but he refused. Eventually Dex tired of creating songs and got quiet. When I looked in the back seat, I saw Dexy and My Bologna "resting".

Grandma and Gunker sure wore out these dudes during their Mississippi vacation. I'm willing to bet that these dudes also wore out Grandma and Gunker!
