Julie's Stupid Suggestion
My daughter reminded me of this "exchange" today-it apparently cracked her up but she was too polite to say anything to my sister. I wasn't though.
As we were driving to the "Raven" concert (I got shotgun, so my daughters didn't have the opportunity to change the radio station every 10 seconds...God Bless Shotgun!), we had the following, brief but revealing, conversation:
ME: So, did you know that (oldest daughter: Real Name: oldest daughter) is on the Cross Country Team this year?
JULIE: Yeah. How do you like it? (she asked my oldest daughter who was sitting in the back seat wishing she had fingers the size of yardsticks so she could play with the radio)
DAUGHTER: It's OK. I just don't like running the long distances.
JULIE: Maybe you should try a marathon!
Daughter: Ummmm.(not really sure how to respond)
ME: IDIOT!
Need I say more? I think her own son called her "retarded" at that point, a label he usually reserves for me.

"Shoot it boy, run, now"
LOVE shotgun!!!!
What is 'shotgun'?
Front seat-with total radio access. Which she usually has.
I can't believe NoOprah had to ask what "shotgun" is...
