Fun In The Car - Honks and Smiles
A simple, favorite traveling past time for our children is trying to get trucks to honk. I don’t recommend this in urban areas, but out in the middle of a corn or soybean field, and we have lots of those in Illinois, who cares!?
Imagine being in a bus and reaching up to pull on the rope to ring the driver to stop. Hold your arm up like that with a fist, repeatedly making a pulling down motion as you come in line where the truck driver can look down and see you.
“Honk! Hoooonk!” Followed by a smile and wave.
The kids cheer and wave back.
Simple minds, simple pleasures!
