Look on the bright side, Mademoiselle; the slimy pre-teen cousins will soon be teenagers with a sense of humour. I suggest you start packing now.

Seems like you're the bright cousin here. Traffic how boring and somewhere
men were lining up to ask you for a date.

I can certainly relate to that, TAPS ...
One time, my mother made me take the trash out when it was raining!

I don't remember ever riding in a vehicle with my cousins. There were always too many siblings. The cousins had to fend for themselves. By the way, there was a time in my early teens when I really thought that I was the family slave.

Mademoiselle, how funny! When my sons were in their pre-teen years,
my sanity was totally compromised! One day, mon ami, you may have the olfactory experience
of driving seven - eight thirteen year old boys to soccer practice!

Hahaha Madame....I think your cousins could use a history lesson or two!
How old are they? BTW, are you happy you're home now? Now you can write about your relatives at your family BBQs.

Plus there are some parts of the city I'd rather not pass through alone. (Or even

Not 100% sure, Corbin. Though it seemed to last for an eternity.
Generally, when I would take the train on a Friday night, it only took a couple hours to get home.
However, with all the traffic yesterday, we must have been out there (a minimum of) three and a half.

Um, actually, it's a book by Stephen King about a lovable St. Bernard who ...
contracts rabies and turns into an unstoppable canine killing machine.
P.S. I only have ten more minutes.

Re: Ever read/see "Cujo", bandana?
No. Indian food?
p.s. you know, dogs calm down almost instantly when you start rubbing them in circular motions. I just did, and now, Machi finally went to his bed to sleep.

You're afraid of your own dog, bandana?
He didn't get bitten by a racoon recently, did he?

But isn't it odd that no matter how incredible summer vacation is, it
still doesn't make that cruel finals week worthwhile.
p.s. I have to take my dog out to pee. Be right back. He's bugging me so much.
