On road trips, I started telling my kids stories to make the trips more fun. They are big kids now but the tradition prevails which is now some serious work for me (I have to basically write an essay before each trip so I remember enough details to not butcher the stories) but I love it and love that they love it.

My wife, instantly falls asleep when I start the stories… it’s like a super power at this point. I am certain if I ever get in trouble with her, I can just start a story and she’ll be deep asleep in 30 seconds allowing me to escape hehehehehe
