Occasionally, we travel out of town to do errands that we cannot do at home. The two hour round trip drive takes most of the day but we do our very best to make it enjoyable for all. However, in order to make these trips worth while, we pack a lot into the itinerary. Our oldest boys take turns quizzing us about the number of remaining stops and whether or not they will be permitted to stay in the car. This time, however, it was Logan who took up the torch.
"Are we going to another store?" came his plaintive question.
"Yes," I replied.
"How about Starbucks?" he suggested hopefully.
How did you come to ask
that question?
"What could you possibly want to go to Starbucks for? You're three. How many times have you been to Starbucks?"
"59 years."
That's what I thought. Between you and your brothers it feels like we've been on this trip for 59 years.
