Fun Driving Moment

Zoe and Amelia and I were driving the other day. Zoe was screaming and wailing and Amelia was screaming over and over, "Change the channel, that hurts my ears!" I had been listening to NPR at a low volume but she always claims extreme ear pain when the talking radio is on. She prefers music. Maybe she has inherited more of mommies artistic side.

Anyway I thought about getting angry but instead I just started to smile and laugh. One of the nice parts about being a slightly older parent is that I already can see the day when I am driving alone listening to a podcast about something like the history of physics in Russia and there will be no one screaming and no one asking for the channel to be changed.

Side note: Right now Amelia is wailing away upstairs and has been for more than an hour. And Zoe is alternating between a high pitched moan and rubbing play doh into the carpet.
