Why Car Trips Feel Like Eternity to Kids (by Kid Blogger, JD)

Car trips feel so long to kids because there is always someone who keeps on farting.

Another reason why car trips feel so long is because they ARE long. Well, they are if you’re me, which you are not. But if your grand parents live in Alabama, and you live in Maryland, it takes 13 hours to get to Alabama, and 15 to where my other grandparents live.

That is even longer if you have a family with 6 people + a dog. It feels like eternity to get there, and there are so many other reasons why car trips feel like eternity.

Another reason is when someone has to pee 24-7, which is me. But that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t feel way longer that it actually is.

Another reason why car trips feel so long is every body has a stereotype:

• -the farter
• -the joke teller
• -the sleeping passengers
• -the noise maker
• -the sleepy driver
• -the dog
• -the person who always needs to pee
• -the starving
• -the gamers
• -the texters
• -the DJ
• -the complainer
• -the planner
• -the person who packs too much stuff
• -the person who acts like the car is home

If you’re thinking, “Why not use a plane?” it is because the time you have to wait at the airport lasts forever, and so does the plane trip.

You might have to wait until the plane opens. In the car you don’t have to wait for your car to open. But aside from that, there is nothing supporting car trips compared to plane trips.

Here is another reason why car trips last so long. Your mom and dad leave the car to get out and pump gas, and then your little dog starts having a mental breakdown. Whoever bought the dog, the dog loves that person because they gave them a home and take good care of them.

There is only one good thing about car trips. You get to have fast food and candy.
