An Important Discussion
I had occasion to sit in the truck with Peggy yesterday while her folks were busy getting hay and loading a garden tractor on the trailer. We talked of birds, her new toy camera, which takes real pictures, and a number of other important topics including lilacs and tulips and cows and her new birthday horse from Miss Amber. We had a fine time.
What is it about being in a car makes kids so chatty? Maybe they realize there are no distractions from our attention. I treasure the hours long drives I took with my son to soccer games. He would talk the entire way, uninterrupted because his sister got left at home, about everything. I feel like those road trips were a big contribution to the closeness we have today as adults.
Denny, I still enjoy traveling with the kids and they are all well into their twenties. Used to love to get them singing in the car....they sing so much better than I do. lol
