the new car


While looking for a parking spot at my daughter's school today we counted 10 Honda Odessey mini vans. Ahh, we finally fit in. We have crossed over to the land of oversized cars. We are a family of four and have convinced ourselves that we simply must have more room while tooling around town. And we went for the model WITH the DVD player. Decadent. Although, I am sure it will be many months, possibly years before I can view any disc above a G rating. The DVD is becoming my daughter's crack. She'll do anything for it. Getting her to leave what ever fun she is having outside of the car for a fix is easy. It's getting her to get out of the car that has become the challenge. I usually have to agree to bring her disc inside the house so she can continue using. I know there are some mothers out there reading this and shaking their heads. And to them I pose this question: "when you were a kid, didn't you think it would be THE COOLEST THING EVER to have a TV in your car?"

When you are a kid, tv's are magic as it is. Put one in a car and you are in another dimension. Remember when I did that extra job as a child and used my pay to purchase a HUGE mini tv? It was my downfall, as it fell on my face during a wrestling match thereby breaking my nose.

Video in the car is great (never mind that we didn't have it as kids and we survived--I never buy that argument).
