[road trip]

DAUGHTER: I have to use the bathroom.
ME: *pulls into rest stop*
DAUGHTER: Thanks.
ME: Make sure you’re back in 5 minutes.
DAUGHTER: I will.
ME: We accidentally left your brother behind once.
DAUGHTER: I don’t have a brother.
ME: Exactly.

@UncleDuke1969 we were once on a road trip with another family in their car. I'm at the wheel, two kids about 2yo in the back, and their father went to the bathroom. Their mom is with us in the car. I just put out a joke, what he would do if we drove away now. The kids on the back started screaming. They didn't even speak at that time.
