Car ride

So why is it that whenever I am driving, and in a rush, I get a slow poke in front of me. Now by all means I am not a speedy driver, but geez, move it ppl will you. I truly just want to honk on my horn for like ten minutes, and scare the crap out of the slow poke in front of me. What compounds all of this, is having my parents in the car. I put my xm radio on as there are no commercials, so I can try and drown them out while listening to the music. But to no avail.. It goes something like this...

Mom.. I smell something, did someone let out air?

Dad.. I didn't, did you? (looking over to me)

Me.. no!

Dad.. Well if you did that is really ok, cause its good to fart

Mom.. Yea, that's why I made you eat beans the other night

Dad.. I know, I am glad you did because I don't like to be gassed up, I like to burp and fart. Its good to let the gas out

Mom.. Whenever you are gassed up, you always think you are having a heart attack

Dad.. No, not always, just sometimes, but I can't eat "gravy" anymore because that always repeats on me

Mom.. Did you see, Fox News this morning? These damn politicians

Me.. (((so want to honk on my horn)))

Dad.. Where are we going?

And the conversation continues, farts, burps, economy, politicians, etc etc etc.

By the time I arrive at my destination, my mind is mush, literally mush. Worst of all, my car locks when you get in, so you can't exit quickly, you have to unlock the doors to get out, so now I am stuck in there longer while the two of them try and figure out how to get out of the car. I try to unlock it for them, but as I am doing this, they are pushing the button as well, so we are all locked in, until I say calmly "Let me push the button" and then, and only then with a deep breath from me do we exit.

Welcome to my world!

:O)
