A few days ago, whilst stuck for about 20 minutes in 5 mph traffic, Olivia: "Mommy?
Mommy?
Hey Mommy!!!"
Ellen, who was cross-stitching and not paying attention: "What?"
"I'm bored!"
"I'm sorry Olivia, we're stuck in traffic. You'll just have to wait."
"Ok mommy." Then, in a gradually louder sing-song: "bored bored bored bored I'm so bored bored bored I'm very bored bored bored," repeated for about 5 minutes.
Then, after more creeping: "Mom?
Mom?
Hey mommy!"
Ellen: "What?"
"Aaag! Traffic! I'm going crrrazzzzy!!!" (flops dramatically side to side in her superchair.)
Some sort of backup on 66, I don't know, an accident or something. Complaining about traffic, not even 2 3. She's definitely a local!
SuperDad - isn't she "not even 3"?

(besides, it's I66, there's always traffic. and the population of Fairfax County is supposed to double or something in the next 10 years...)
