Playing Cars

I am very much in demand to play cars, morning noon and night.

I've never quite known how "playing cars" works, so I do a lot of zooming in a circle, hoping not to get dizzy.

There's a process and there are rules, but I'm not sure what they are. Sometimes it seems as if they are in flux. I only really know the rules when I break one.

If I stop moving for too long, such as to sip my tea or check Facebook on my phone, I get reprimanded. Not sure if this is how Keanu Reeves felt in the movie Speed, but I won't stop long enough to find out.

  2. Aahh, yes, cars! Never ending races and circles showing who's in charge, for a change (the little boy, haha)!

  3. Hahaha! I remember those days - although in my case it was playing with the "guys" (superheros). I was ALWAYS the villain. And to add salt to the wound, I couldn't even make up my own narrative...he always dictated to me what my actions and words should be.

    1. Aw, Gigi! My son played “guys”, too. He is almost 15 but on a rare Saturday morning I will still her the psh psh of him playing in his room. Thanks for reminding me of this.
