I was out running errands last weekend with my 5 year old in tow, and to make the outing something he could look forward to I asked him if he would like to get some ice cream. He responded with an enthusiastic “yes.”
The way to the ice cream parlor was a full 7 miles though, which he thought was unbearably far.
“I wish we had a button in the car that said ice cream,” he said from the backseat (when we were still about 3.5 miles from our destination).
I asked him why he wanted such a button in the car.
“Because then we could push it and teleport there,” he said.
Of all the options available in cars – cruise control, GPS, OnStar, and automatic everything – it’s a damn shame that automakers have not come up with a button to teleport you directly to an ice cream parlor. Obviously, they are not hiring enough 5 year olds to work in their product development departments.
