Back Seat GPS

Jack's Jem:

Ok, I am back after a long hiatus from sharing Jack's musings on life with the world, and I am sorry for that.  Jack has never let up, but unfortunately some of his wit is lost to time and my old brain.  I will endeavor to recapture some of the moments that were lost and keep everyone up-to-date on his new proclamations.  Here is a good one from this weekend to get things rolling again.

On Valentine's Day, Jack and our little family headed out on a little road trip.  Jack is not a particular fan of road trips unless the DVD players are involved.  He is however fascinated with the in dash navigation system in our car. He is so fascinated in fact that for a good portion of the time he points out what is on the screen.  Most of the time this little activity tends to push the Mom and me to the near braking point, however this little drive was so relaxed that we were tolerating this little extra informational overload like we he had never done it before.

After a little while of repeating everything GPS related, Jack some how became distracted by something and stopped.  The Mom and me suddenly found ourselves in complete silence, how glorious!  I should have realized that Jack was just warming up for something.

This beautiful silence was finally broken after about 20 minutes with the following statement from the backseat GPS.

 " In two miles we will be turning right onto Division Street.", then a short pause followed by, "I really hope we don't have to do any division problems when we drive down Division Street."

Can you imagine if passing your driving test from now on included doing division problems while you drive down Division Street and God forbid there is ever a Non-Linear Equation Street.

Enjoy
The Dad
