EVOLUTION OF THE ROAD TRIP: HOW MANY MORE MILES1972You, your five siblings, and the dog load up the station wagon. Your hand slaps the wood paneling as you yell “Shotgun,” thus securing your spot in the rear-facing seat, flanked by suitcases. It’s a 9.5 hour drive to Grandma’s house. Cigarette ashes cascade like Mount Saint Helens, as Dad rolls down the window to flick his butt. Seconds later, he stabs the dashboard lighter to spark up another. Mom spiral tosses a box of Wagon Wheels into the backseat to stifle the whining. The family collectively regrets last night’s spicy chili con carne dinner. Chuck Barry playfully sings about his Ding-a-Ling on the AM radio.1985You and your best friend Betty cruise the Coquihalla highway to Vancouver for a Nazareth concert. She hands you twenty bucks for smokes, gas, and a triple pack of Hawkins cheezies. You’re running on limited sleep after pulling an all-nighter. You alert your parents you should be home in about 36 hours. They nod vaguely and reply, “Have fun, honey.” Love Hurts blasts from the cassette deck of your Buick LeSabre. The whole trip is an adventure.2004Hubby went to Radio Shack and got a great deal on a portable DVD player, only $675! It’s bungy-corded to the back of the driver seat so your rugrats can see. Shrek plays on a loop as you motor across three provinces to lake country. You’ve carefully compiled individual snack bags to be doled out hourly. Scouring MapQuest printouts, you coordinate frequent potty breaks along the way. The minivan’s rockin’ as you belt out American Idiot at the top of your lungs. In a role reversal, the kids holler at you to turn the volume down.2025You say fuck it, book a plane ticket, pack your carry on, and catch an Uber to the airport!sangriasisters.ca/evolution-of-road-trip-how-many-more-miles/ ...

KINDERGARTEN ELECTION GUIDE: VOTE NOW OR CRY LATERListen up children, today’s lesson is on VOTING! Elections allow you to weigh in on important issues, such as snacks, naptime, crafts, and foreign policy. Our classroom’s going to get political while respecting each other’s opinions. Isn’t that right, Timmy?!We’re about to elect a new classroom president, so let’s meet our candidates – Dick and Jane! As always, raise your hand when you wish to speak. Now, let’s look at their party platforms and make informed choices.ECONOMY🔺 Jane wants to build affordable housing for her Barbie constituents. Skipper and her 50-year mortgage can mature together.🔹 Dick wants to build a pipeline under the sand box to safely transport his Tonka trunks.HEALTHCARE🔺 Jane will provide dental coverage for the lifetime of your baby teeth.🔹 Dick wants to privatize access to bandaids and pedialyte.IMMIGRATION🔺 Jane has an open gate policy, all are welcome in her playground. She may even subsidize you.🔹 Dick wants to put a cap on classroom size, and kids outside the neighbourhood.REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS🔺 Jane will have Plan B vending machines installed in every bathroom.🔹 Dick was dangerously close to being an abortion, so he’s obviously against it.FOREIGN POLICY🔺 Jane has a history of taxing tantrums for anyone residing West of the monkey bars.🔹 Dick was caught on a hot mic calling the principal a fuckwad.GENDER EQUALITY🔺 Jane supports her stuffed teddy bear who identifies as a grizzly.🔹 Dick insists all teddy’s be sewn with gender normative genitals.DEFENSE🔺 Jane plans to ramp-up military spending to include scrap paper airplanes.🔹 Dick wants to build a wall along the south side of the playground.Whoever the class votes to lead our student body, remember, we’re stronger when we’re unified. Collaborate, play nice with other school districts, and stand up to bullies. So, what have we learned here today, children? If you want to be heard, make a choice, then use your voice!VOTE! 🇨🇦sangriasisters.ca/kindergarten-election-guide-vote-now-or-cry-later/ ... See MoreSee Less
