Road Rules

It seems the Keigley family’s wheels have been trucking along a highway or two (or twelve) the past few weeks.

And we’re learning a few truths.

(Seems the road always has a lesson or two for us.)

Lessons like this . . . .

1.  Knock Knock jokes have a rather limited appeal.

2.  Our front left tire is slowly losing air and needs to be regularly refilled.

3. I don’t care for putting air in tires.

4. Hearing your two-year-old son cry your name for thirty-five minutes straight is neither endearing nor conducive to continued driver sanity.

5. The iPad is more than just a beautiful piece of technology – it is an incredible backseat behavior modification device.

6. Kids shouldn’t drink chocolate milk in a car.

7. Purchasing a dog kennel and then assembling said kennel in the parking lot may result in minor injuries and temporary loss of reason and commonsense.

8. Pouring essentially a one hundred bill into the gas tank with every fill up is enough of a motivator to think twice before turning that ignition key.

I’m certain there are more worthy lessons to be learned this summer as we have many hours yet to log on the highways and byways.
