Scary Little Cars

Like many, we are a two car family. There is the SUV that could house a third world country and the smaller, older car used mainly for commuting. While it serves the intended purpose well, no one is a particularly big fan of the smaller car. It is older, has more miles and less "luxury" features (i.e. there is no DVD player). It does get significantly better gas milage, so it is the go-to vehicle if I am alone or only dragging one child along for the ride.

Being kids, they don't grasp this money-saving concept ... only the "no DVD player" part stands out in their minds, as evidenced by a recent overheard conversation:

Diva: "You are going with Momma and you have to take the little car."
Little Man: "No! I take the big car."
Diva: "You have to take the hond-ted, cause hond-ted is spanish for little car and we are taking the big car."

I feel the need to point out:

• little car is a honda
• it is in no way haunted
• we watch entirely too much Dora
