Time Warp

Apparently I drive a time machine.

At least that might be the conclusion one might make after listening to Chase on this afternoon's ride. We were driving to meet up with Mark's cousins from Arkansas. We were meeting at a restaurant in Independence, so it was a bit of a drive. I decided to go the scenic route-- as we approached Macedonia, Chase started a commentary...

C: Whoa! What's going on here. Looks like we are in the 1950's. Is this a time machine, or what?

A few minutes later.

C: This is definitely the 1980's. Maybe '88. What do you think Ellis?

E: Meow. [Sounded like a meow of agreement, to me.]

A few minutes later.

C: What is going on here. Looks like we are in 1991. '91, I tell you!

Mommy decides to interject.

M: Chase? Do you know what year we live in?

C: No.

M: Right now it is April of 2009.

C: WHAT? Are you CRAZY WOMAN??? There is just no way. Absolutely NO WAY.

There are days that I feel exactly that way... how did we ever get to here?
