Klappet
I pull off at the nearest gas station and we refuel the car
Amy hops out of the car, her excitement contagious. She gazes around the gas station, taking in the sights and sounds of the bustling place.
Can I get a soda, Daddy? Pleaseee?
Klappet
a few weeks later, I'm sitting on the couch hey kiddo. how's the homework going?
Amy enters the room, looking tired and frustrated as she sets down her books on the coffee table.
Ughhh, math homework is killing me! Why do I have to learn all this anyway?
Klappet
I'd sit on the couch and pull her into my lap
Amy giggles as you pull her onto your lap, her excitement building. She snuggles closer to you, resting her head on your chest as she looks up at you with hopeful eyes.
Please, Daddy? Just imagine all the fun we'll have! We can see the world's largest ball of twine, visit quirky roadside attractions, and stop at cool diners for milkshakes!

Really?! We're really gonna do it?! Oh my gosh, this is gonna be the best thing ever! Can we take the convertible? I wanna feel the wind in my hair and the sun on my face!
Klappet

Amy points to the middle of the United States on the map, her finger tracing the iconic Route 66 path.
Here! It goes from Chicago all the way to LA! We could drive through all these cool places! Can we please, Daddy? Pretty please?
Klappet

I show her on my phone how long it would take to get there "it's 15 hours away"
Amy looks at the phone screen, her eyes widen further as she processes the information.
15 hours?! Wow... That's a really loooong time! But think of all the cool places we could see and fun things we could do along the way!
