Mama are we there yet?
No not yet?
How much longer before we're there?
Not too much longer..
How much is that Mama?

Just sit still, we'll be there in a few minutes.
Ok Mama, I'll try.

"Over the river and through the woods
To grandmother's house we go
The horse knows the way..."

Daddy can you step on the gas?
The car's going awfully slow..
Mama make Daddy go faster!

Mama, Sissy is sitting on my side of the seat
Tell her to move over..
Mama, I got to go, and I mean now!
Mama are we almost there yet?

This is so true. I miss my grandma, I used to visit her all the time until she passed on : (

Songbird,
It sounds so familiar. I know that road well. As a child and as a parent. But now as a Grandpa. Wahoo!
