Hey, you kids! Shut up back there! It’s time to play:

Here’s how it works: Stop kicking the back of your mother’s seat and sit quietly staring out the window. When you see any of the objects or signs listed on your BINGO card, mark that space with a coin, a counter, a half-chewed Chiclet, a booger, or possibly a small dried bean. Be sure to share those beans with your sister! When you have marked out a complet row, column, or diagonal, you win! (Do NOT yell “BINGO.” That word is a registered trademark of which you are not a holder, and besides, your father is trying to concentrate on traffic. Just congratulate yourself inwardly and sit still. Maybe you can name all of the presidents.) These are all pretty much things we saw on our trip (the twister was very small), so if you can’t complete your card, I have no sympathy for you.

This is my tiny bikes/big pants thing right here

I need to just take a moment here to say now much the "bare feet sticking out the passenger window" thing totally and utterly annoys the crap out of me. It makes me boil with rage. I mean, 1) if there were to be an accident, a person sitting that way would be totally and utterly fucked; 2) feet, by their very nature are ugly and hideous and nobody should have to see them. That's why God invented Socks and Shoes; 3) it totally messes with the aerodynamics of the car, probably dropping your fuel efficiency by a good couple of MPG; 4) you're blocking the passenger side rear view mirror with your hideous smelly feet, creating a blind spot and increasing the liklihood of an accident (see #1 above); 5) is there simply not enough room to stretch your feet out under the dashboard in front of you, in your designated "passenger feet go here" area beneath the glovebox? I mean, why do you feel the NEED to recline/stretch out quite that much?; 6) Can it really be all that comfortable? Really?; 7) I hope you die in a fire, you worthless self-indulgent piece of human waste!

Thank you, and goodnight.
