The kids and I are on a road trip. Fun times. As we are leaving the driveway, Gavin breaks out the first book he plans on reading: "String Theory for Dummies". Then he decides he needs to start taking notes and whips out his trusty, dusty notepad to write down who knows what about 'string theory'. He even has the gaul to try to incorporate me into a conversation about it. "Mom, did you know that the string theory has 10 to the 500th power number of possible solutions?"
First of all, I don't even know what that means, so how am I supposed to have an intelligent response. Second of all, I'm driving, which means I really only heard every 3rd word cuz I'm really concentrating on staying on the road. And lastly, I don't really care what string theory is. So, this became my 'intelligent' reply, "Hmmm. Is that a good or a bad thing, Gavin?"
According to him, it's just plain "interesting", neither good nor bad. Whatever. I cannot be concerning myself with such things as string theory when I am in the process of driving. Or really ever for that matter.
Another interesting thing...the very first thing the kids do when we get into our hotel room - check the tv listings to see if they have the Food Network. That's really all that's important. You can be assured that we will have our fill of Food Network tonight.
And who doesn't love a hotel with an indoor/outdoor pool and a hot tub?! The perfect way to spend the evening relaxing after a long day of driving! And free internet and computer?! Love it.
Lastly, the kids kept thanking me over and over, "Thank you Mom for driving so carefully and trying to get us here safely." I'm so thankful for their thankful hearts.
This is just one more fun adventure...I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!
