"Are we there yet"
Who can remember as a kid, sitting in the back seat of their dads car with brothers of sisters going on holiday and just getting to the end of their road - all shouting together ""Are we there yet Dad""?
It always seemed to take forever to get to the coast - we lived a couple of hours from North Wales - and we grew impatient to see the sand, sea and donkeys before we even got as far as Chester. Then our parents couldn't get us off the beach - they'd be shivering in their anoraks at 8pm while we were still swimming and then they would be saying "are you sure you're not hungry for dinner yet?"
I think that question get handed down from generation to generation, I remember asking my Dad and then my son asking me. It's a family tradition! Ha-ha! Sunny :)

ReplyDeleteHappy Days :o)
I must admit that all I can remember was taking the bus and getting car-sick... :-)
ReplyDeleteI remember being that 'kid.'
ReplyDeleteI think you've perfectly described a timeless, world-wide phenomenon. I remember it well both as a child and a Dad.
ReplyDeleteYour Dad had a car - there's posh.
ReplyDeleteMy dad had his trousers tucked in his socks, but he was still saving to buy a bicycle.

Mac: I remember that, we had a grandmother who lived in a town about 20 miles from us. It seemed like it took forever to get there.
ReplyDeleteLol :)
ReplyDeletesome of us are still travelling
ReplyDeleteI always sat in the front of the car, as my mum used to like to sit in the back. No seatbelt either. Them were the days!
ReplyDeleteIf we're there, I want to know where we can from and how we got here!
