Kristen will be back Friday. Mom and dad still won't be back Friday.

They're on their way. They're traveling.

They are traveling, yep.

In a covered wagon, Oregon trail style to get back here.

I can't believe they're doing that.

I know. That's what they decided. I'm not sure.

I just, I don't know. It sounds horrible.

Have you done it? Have you driven there?

I drove to Florida with mom and all three dogs when I was pregnant with Fawn.

Oh.

Yep.

And was it horrible?

When dad rearended us, that wasn't the best.

Oh, that's right.

But I remember that.

I mean, it wasn't terrible because I was with mom, but like I think mom and dad are each driving their own cars. No, I think. No. Are they? They were supposed to ship dad's car, and then they were going to drive together. But then the people that shipped dad were going to come get his car, never got it. And then they bumped up their price like a bunch.

And then mom was like, never mind. And so now I think they're driving themselves. Oh, well, that'll be fun for them. Mm-hmm. Now the chat is talking about Oregon Trail. See? Because you mentioned the covered wagon. Oregon Trail's the best. Well, so Dee Hart says the wagon was going to break down. The trick is you got to bring at least a couple spare wheels and have a carpenter in your wagon.

Duh.

That's the important part. Make sure you don't run out of oxen. Don't run out of oxen. How do you run out of oxen? Well, you're going at a grueling pace. You know, they have a tendency to just stop, stop working. What was that? My ring doorbell thing.

Oh, I was like...

The children are playing outside, it would appear.

Somebody brought a triangle in here.
