How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Car Pool Conversations

in Uncategorized on

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.

    2. Hello, I am new to your blog but just had to comment. I also did a post today on car pool moms.

      Kids do say the craziest things!

    8. Adorable. It’s like when my sister and I saw a sign for “Lab Pups 4 Sale”, I wrote down the phone number. But she cried because “what kind of experiments do you think were done to them”?

    11. How funny!! When you have two or more in the car it’s almost like you are invisible and you get to hear all kinds of things!

    14. Ha! You should tell them they should wait until they’re older and how sometimes doing something for even 10 minutes feels like an eternity!

      (like trying to get my kids to take the first bite of the supper, for example…)
