For Adults/older teens: Driving to your new Post
For kids/younger teens: "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"
NO WE'RE NOT THERE YET SO STOP ASKING
By this stage, you should be out on the road and enjoying the view of the great American land. (Don't know how you're reading this but they, thank you iPhones and other smartphones)
Really got nothing much to say here other than if you're driving or helping your parents with the drive...good luck to you. The stress and excitement of the drive to your new post can all turn into one mess for your parents which will most likely end up in yelling, screaming, and the occasional sleeping. So while you still don't have the wheel yet, consider yourself lucky and QUICK pretend you're sleeping so your parents won't ask you to drive the next shift.
But if you're parents are organized freaks like mine is, you know you're time slot so...just drive. Good thing about driving is, you get to control the radio! (If you can find anything that is...either you have XM radio or you're just out of luck)
To the parents:
If your kids are younger, yes the drive can be stressful but please...less yelling, less screaming will most likely equal more fun! I know you get sick of hearing the "Are we there yet?" question but...how about ask us some questions? Or just start talking about something adult-ish and hopefully it'll put us to sleep for hours.
If your kids are young teen/teen: DON'T WORRY! If you trust us enough to squeeze us in this drive schedule then why worry? Ya it's true we might be blasting the radio when you're trying to sleep in the backseat but hey, really don't worry, we'll get you there safe and sound. (And probably half the time too! :D)
Until next time, hug your parents and tell them you love them then get driving. Try to remember those signs on the highway is telling you the fastest you can go, not the slowest. But...just some 5 miles over the limit won't hurt nobody.
YOU DIDN'T HEAR IT FROM ME THOUGH.
IN FACT WE NEVER TALKED AND YOU NEVER READ ANYTHING I JUST SAID!
