Kyle’s dad drives a Nissan Armada that has a drop down DVD player in. Kyle rather enjoys the ability to watch movies while driving around with his dad and has told me on occasion that I should get one. Well seeing that I am driving a ‘04 Tahoe that has too many issues to talk about, it is a low priority on my “gotta get” list.
One thing that is on my “gotta get” list was the speedometer fixed. Ever since the Willy Wonka incident it has not worked. This is not convenient considering that I drive a section of I15 that is under construction and heavily patrolled on a daily basis.
After a check with the dealership I discovered that the speedometer failure is apparently a common problem in Tahoe’s around this year, there is even a recall on the part I need… BONUS! So I took it in and low and behold I am a “few” thousand miles over the approved amount for the recall. That blows. To replace the part it will be around 360-something dollars… wow really, that sucks!
Option # 2, get a GPS device that will hang in the window and tell me how fast I am going, and bonus if I get lost I can use it for what it is intended for.
So that is the back story, now I have a Garmin GPS hanging in my window. After explaining to the boys that is was not a movie, that the cartoon was not going to start, because it was a map, it tells me how fast I am going and how to get there; they finally stopped asking about the new device hanging in the window.
After a week of listening to the little voice (I have chosen the British male voice, he sounds like the talking mirror in Shrek) Kyle pipes in as we are turning into his daycare and says “I don’t like how he says stuff!” “What stuff Kyle?” “He just called this kind-er-land, that’s wrong… we go to Kinderland.”
Ok, I agree with him here, it is funny, but the next part made me giggle a little.
I turned off the truck and went to get out when Kyle stopped me and said “Mom, Mom! You forgot to hit pause!”
“On what Kyle?”
“The map.”
Oh look, more stuff that looks cool that I can't afford and have no place to put it.

Randy and Kyler sneaking into the line for the derby... because it was a mile and a half long, and we were next to the gate and there was NO WAY we were going to walk to the end of it. (...on a stick, ok that did not really fit there.) 
Little guy here just thinks that if you just sit there you will stay on... who needs to hold?
