Last month driving on a 10 hour road trip with my 2 teenage daughers we got into a 'discussion of who got to choose the radio station. I'm the grown up, and I'm driving so that means I get to listen to what I want. Well apparently NOT. The 17 and 15 year old began a full scale riot.

UH-UH-UH.. GIMMME SUM UH DAT. UH UH UH. SUMUH DAT. UH UH. DAT. UH UH. GIMME SUM UH DAT. UH UH. over and over and OVER. I asked Kayla Is the record stuck?? she said is the WHAT??? (ooohhh showed my age.) I said um I mean is the cd skipping or something? I mean the song HAS to have more than 4 words right?? She just rolls here eyes again and stuffs her ear buds back in her ears and closes her eyes.
Then I look in the back seat at Courtney. SHE has HER earbuds stuffed into HER head too! I slowlly turn the radio down. and I can literaly tell NO DIFFERENCE IN THE NOISE LEVEL!!

About a half hour later we pull into Cracker Barrell for dinner and everone is sound asleep. I shake Kayla awake, and tell Courtney to wake up for dinner. .. no responce. COURTENY!! ( nothing) I SHAKE her... she groggily says 'WHAT'? and pulls her ear buds out and once again, there goes my flying pony tail. OMG HOWWW CAN YOU SLEEP with that crap blasting your head off? " Gawd mom, its RELAXING! CHILL why dontcha? "
The rest of the trip passes with the girls sleeping while I listen to the music blaring from their sleeping heads (I couldnt hear the radio over the noise they made.) When we hit heavy traffic, I had to put a stop to it "Girls TURN THAT CRAP OFF!! I NEED TO CONCENTRATE! " Kayla looked at me like I had 3 heads "what does my music have to do with your driving?" I glared at her " I need silence to look for my exit. now SHADDUP!! ( more eyeball rollage from the teens)
A few miles from home my best friend called. We were chatting away, laughing and talking when Courtney sat up and grouched MOM! I'm TRYING to sleep back here! will you PLEASE be QUIET! JEEZ!
