Question, Comment, Command

My backseat driver doesn't tell me which way to go, but she does provide a running discourse.

Question:
What do coyotes eat?

Comment:
You know what a river is? A river is a kind of bath that lives outside.

Command:
Correct your body, Mama! (She wants us to lean into the curve when we're heading for a bend in the road.)

  1. I love her definition of bath. That's wonderful.

    And what do coyotes eat? (Well, I know they are sometimes known to eat small housepets...but perhaps that is not the best answer.)

    Mine keep up running commentaries (and fights) too so that I have instituted sessions of the Quiet Game.

    Yep.

    No amendments, first or otherwise, in my car.

  7. Mine tells me what *not* to sing. That is, not to sing along to any song she likes.

    (The visual verification was blank the first time I tried to post this! I thought it was a trick question. This time I have a regular old nonsense test word.)
