I have never been one for popular catch phrases. In fact my friends and I usually like to make up our own. It is not until you take a long road trip with little ones that you truly realize that one catch phrase is innately part of every human beings vocabulary and just waiting to be free……..”Are we there yet”?
“Are we there yet?” Four little words. Four little words that make my ass twitch. Twenty hour trip and 50 minutes into it my daughter asks, “Are we there yet?” What? We haven’t even left the freakin county we live in…..oh this oughta be fun. Two days and I truly believe I heard that phrase about 642 times.
I tried the funny responses, the firm responses and even the threatening responses, but it was if her brain was programmed to ask the question about every 15.75 minutes. WTF? Now there’s a catch phrase (or acronym) I like.
