Friday Funnies

For the first six months of Caly’s little life, she hated the car. Whether we were going five minutes down the street or on and extended road trip, she would scream the whole time. The moment the car stopped and you removed her from her car seat, she would stop. To say the least, this made me dread any time in the car. I have great sympathy for this mother and her desire for a little peace and quiet.

Desperate for time to think? Here’s one person’s approach to getting it.

A family took a car trip together, and each person was allowed to bring one tape to listen to on the way. Each had to be quiet during the other’s tape. The daughter listened to hers the father went next, then the mother’s turn.

Her choice? A blank tape that gave her 20 minutes of silence to relax and enjoy the trip. With a little planning , she’d found a way to make time to think and a quiet place to do it.

What’s your strategy?
