In the quest for a peaceful car ride, I tried a new technique today…. Well, new for me anyway. I applied the daddy technique. Strategic ignoring.
Plus side- I managed to avoid several pointless questions like the following:
- Mommy, why are there ritz crackers in the car? I wish they were mine........
- Mommy, can we go to zack’s house today?
- Mommy, can we go to zack’s house tomorrow? Saturday? Sunday?
- Mommy, where are we going?
- Mommy, is this the right way? Mommy…. Mommy…. Mommy????
I also managed to ignore the constant bickering that was going on in the back:
Ew! quit eating your boogers!.... MOMMY… he’s eating his boogers!
No I’m NOT
MOMMY! he’s eating his boogers AGAIN!
NA-AH!!
Negative side- I did SO well, that while lost in daydream land I missed my exit on the way to the church to pick up Markel…. Thus extending my car ride full of boys. Not a good thing.
Anybody have any good advice on how to stop a chronic booger eater???
