I’ve been listening to books on CD in my car for a couple of years now. I try not to listen to anything overly violent or sexual if the kids are in the car, but other than that I figured it was fairly safe.
I mean – my children never listen to me, why would they pay any attention to an audio recording of “A Light in August”?
We just got back from a road trip that was 10 hours in each direction.
And Ian told me that one of his sister’s baby dolls just had a near death experience.
I guess they were paying attention when I was listening to “Spook” by Mary Roach.
Oops.
too funny!
My daughter repeats to me parts of conversations I have had on the phone–when I thought she was not listening. Beware. But, I guess you figured it out already
10 HOURS in each DIRECTION?!?! Wow.
Faulkner? Nothing like a little Joe Christmas to haunt your kids’ dreams…
Sounds like a classic case of selective hearing to me.
It’s a kid rule. They listen to what you do NOT want them to hear and they ignore what you DO want them to hear!
That is an awesome book.
