How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Car Pool Conversations

in Uncategorized on 10/07/09

One of my many jobs out here in the Suburbs is the never ending carpool.
To swimming, gymnastics, choir, track or even birthday parties it seems like I’m always hauling a load of wee ones to some incredibly important social event.
One of the wonderful things about being the invisible driver in the front seat? The conversations overheard between groups of 7-10 year old girls…

Overheard between two adorable 7 year old girls in my back seat.
The discussion: A 10 week session of synchronized swimming.
“Well SweetGirl, I do like the idea of doing synchronized swimming with you, but it says here 10 hours.

Big Sigh.

I’ll try, but I think I’m gonna be awfully tired after 10 straight hours in the pool!”
Hee hee…Out of the mouths of babes.

      What a trooper. She would “try” despite thinking that she might be tired after 10 straight hours…

      Kids’ conversations are the best. I love to listen in when they talk to each other. 🙂

      That is too funny. If it took 10 hrs. I am not sure I could do it either.

      I’ve missed your blog the past few days, hope the guacamole has worked it’s way thru to a better place! Ha! Also glad you found the wonder that are Spanx. I’m only 28 and I’ve been swearing by these babies for years!! Now I just need to get me a pair of Lululemon pants and I will be set for suburbia!!

      So so cute!!!! I love listening to their conversations. It’s the best.

      One time I actually called the mom of the other child (on the sly) and let her listen in. It was so cute and funny.
