Oh! The incredible joy! The excitement!
Chandra sat in the middle of the back seat of the car. She was not in a car seat despite the fact that she was only seven years old. No seat belt restrained her. Her gaze was fixed squarely towards the windshield of the car and the land zooming by. Her tongue hung out of her mouth as she panted.
In the two front seats of the rent-a-car were Brian and Kami. Brian was driving. Kami was wondering why the hell she agreed to come on this trip.
Brian suddenly started slowing down.
Kami looked at him, “What? What are you doing?”
“There’s a bridge up ahead. It looks like it goes over an arroyo. And there is a little spot there on the side of the road. It looks like there is parking. I’m sensing that Chandra needs to pee.”
Seriously? thought Kami. You can sense when the fucking dog has to pee but you can’t sense when I have to pee? Are you more in tune with the dog’s girl parts than mine? Seriously?
Slowing down even more, Brian pulled the car into the dirt parking area. He was excited because the area seemed totally wild.
“Uh, Brian….”
“Yeah?”
“I’ve gotta pee, too.”
