Grandpa, Are We There Yet?

by Esther Brown


Morgan is wiggling next to me in her car seat. Grandpa Gary is driving. 

“Grandpa are we there yet?” Slightly whiny. 

“Nope, 45 minutes.” Matter of fact. 

I kept reading my book. Five minutes later, more wiggles.

“Grandpa are we there yet???”  Definitely whiny now. 

“Do you need to go potty?” After the tree experience, Grandpa tried to anticipate these things. 

Morgan shook her curls. 

“Hey Munchkin, lets play a game.” I said, putting aside my book, hoping to help pass the time until our next stop. “I am going to Paris, and I am going to take my motorcycle”. 

She knew the game. “I am going to Paris with Grandma and I am going to take your motorcycle and my gummy worms.” Giggling. 

“ I am going to Paris and I am going to take my motorcycle, your gummy worms and my book.”

She decided to take icecream, and my plan fizzled. She was not enthused about my taking a book. 

After about 10 minutes she was bored again.

“Grandpa, are we there yet?” 

“Nope, 45 minutes”.

It always took 45 minutes. Until she learned to tell time. We would "arrive" and she would pose in front of the sign. Rain or shine. Grandpa would snap a picture. Every road we took her on is marked off. Now we are doing it with her brother Ben. These stories are for him. The picture is of Grandpa and our pup Jazzy, Morgan was in the back with me.
