Summary: Getting in the car with kids.

 

Where are we going?
What’s the date?
Is that the time?
We’re running late!
 
Pack the bags
We need a snack.
Who’s turn was it
Next in the back?
 
Put on your shoes—
Where are your pants?!
Go and get them!
One last chance!
 
Water bottles
Sunscreen too
Have we got hats?
Somewhere we do…
 
No more toys!
The car is full!
Can’t see the floor
Through this cesspool!
 
Buckle in
Yes all of you!
Including
You, and you, and you!
 
Oops, I forgot,
I need my keys
Wait here
One more second, please.
 
Now, are we ready?
Great, let’s go!
Before it’s time
To come back home.

Lol. This is my life some days, too. Wrote a bit that applies more to my household.

Who needs to pee?
Not there!
Turn your shirt 'round
Bring a spare.
