Or you never went on family road trips
We went on tons of road trips, but we all had books--except Daddy, who drove, of course. Oh, we did spot license plates, trying to get all the states. The state you were in at the time didn't count. Alaska needed independent confirmation.
Is it the kind you just screw in like a lightbulb?
YEP! and the new fuse fixed the AC. WOOT. I'm still thinking of moving Grace back into the bedroom so we only need to air condition one room.
Nice! The only problem with those fuses is having them on hand -- the actual changing is easy. As you know.
The changing is easy, but a little scary.
The Americans immediately took this opportunity to swoop up all the womenfolk.
Nice to see the French apparently learned well from this mistake.
We made words from the letters on lisence plates. Letters had to be in the order they were printed. SLK could be slack, slake, slick, or silk. Silk wins because it has the fewest letters added to what's on the plate. SCK: sick wins over sack or sock because i is "shorter" than o or a.
We played all of those games ("we" being me and my poor cousin Buffy - we did coast-to-coast road-trips with my grandfather several times a year when we were kids) and more. But our specialty was annoying everyone in the car with non-stop singing of "The Gambler" and "Copa Cabana".

Randomly funny -- I was saying to my coworker that I had made this soup for my grandmother, because she's not eating enough, and she said she does the same thing for her mother. Except she goes to Whole Foods, buys a prepared dinner, puts it in a tupperware, and tells her mother it's leftovers! That cracked me up.
