Recently, when I knew we had a rough morning ahead of us, I promised the Littles a special treat if they could be patient- the drive-through car wash.
OOooooooOOOoohhhhH!!!
I like to bribe creatively. The drive-through car wash is SO exciting, because, well, all that water! And you don't. Even. Get. Wet. It looks like you might! Ahh! But you don't. OOoooOOhhh!
They behaved like angels, and even though we agreed it might not be the most thrilling, fantastic drive-through car wash we'd ever experienced, it was still full of awesomeness.
The awesomeness has continued to be discussed and reenacted with the cozy coupe since.
This morning I buckled in Missy and observed,
"Yikes! It's getting messy in here! I think we'd better clean out this car today."
Missy looked around and nodded in consternation,"Oooh, yes. Lookin' duhty. So we need 'nudder cah wash, Mama! YAY cah wash time!"
C: "Well, this time I think we need to clean the INside of the car, though."
Miss: "Yep, yes. The in-sahd. Hmm. I have the right a-dea! To clean the in-sahd, we can go to the cah wash, and put the windows down! OK!"
Not my first thought on a 28 degree morning. But I'm sure it would be exciting.
