I had relatives who rented a beach house close to where my grandparents live, they are "here" for two and a half weeks. We have been to visit them a few times and on the way home from our last visit this is what happened.
Ed was driving, I was the passenger and the kids both fell asleep during the ride. On the route we take there are lots of local fruit and veggie stands, I told Ed of one that I wanted to stop at. We were talking about getting a fruit bearing bush, the stop happened to be while the kids were sleeping. We put the bushes in the back of the van and William woke up, looked around and said "Where are we, we don't stop here, this isn't' home." And went back to sleep
Natalie woke up a short time later and we were trying to wake William up. It was close to bed time and knew it would be difficult for them to sleep tonight if they slept to long in the car. So we started playing a guessing game.
Me: Guess what we got
Natalie: I don't know.
Me: Look in the back of the van.
N: You got plants
Me: What kind of plants do you think they are?
N: Lemon trees.
Me: No, guess again
N: Tomato plants?
Me: No
N: Those round things that are green on the outside and red on the inside.
Me: (after 10 minutes of racking my brain trying to figure out what she was thinking of) Watermelon?
N: Yes, Watermelon.
Me: NO
N: That plant that we have that keeps tipping over, nothing ever grew on it and it's all slimy and moldy.
Me: Zucchini?
N: Yes
Me: No
Me: I'll give you a hint. It's one of your favorite things to eat in the whole
world!
Natalie: MOM! Ice cream doesn't grow on bushes!
ED: Blueberries, Natalie, they are Blueberry bushes!
Natalie: YEA!
William: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
The End!
William did wake up on the ride home, but stayed up till 10 pm. I was happy to find the sound of music on so he watched a little of that then fell asleep.
