Honk Shoe

Wednesday night I was driving the kids home from Abby's ballet lesson when Zach started acting up. I don't remember what he was whining about, but it was really starting to get on my nerves. Just as I was about to lose my patience, I said something like, "If you don't stop it, you'll go to sleep right now."

Without missing a beat, Abby starts chanting, "Honk, shoe...Honk, shoe..." "What are you saying Abby?" I snapped. "I was snoring. You said we could go to sleep right now." In spite of myself, I laughed and drove the rest of the way home smiling.
