When i was about 9, my family decided to take a road trip to ohio from florida to visit some family members.several times along the way we stopped and grabbed a bite to eat. Well i was throwing a tantrum because i didn't want to eat at the place we stopped and really was raising up a storm. My dad and his wife told me to go out to the car and sit there and wait for them "i was not going 2 b eating with them" i said fine of course and headed out the door and sat in the car and waited and waited and waited.... Finally i saw a couple coming out that had came in a little after our family and thought it was nothing to strange condsidering that we had a large family and we did take a little longer to eat. Well they walked up to the car and got in and me being frightened didn't say anything until they put the key in the ignition and started it up!!! I had got into the wrong car and honestly didn't realize there were too identical cars parked next to eachother!!! I learned never to throw a hissy again on a rd trip!!!

Ds, who was just a little over one year old at this time, had been suffering from a cold and double ear infection for a few days. Seemed like he was doing better though, so dh and I decided to make the 2 hr roadtrip to visit his parents. About 45 mins into the drive, ds started crying and saying his tummy hurt. All of a sudden, the back of my head is wet. He had projectile vomited all the way across my seat and got it in my hair, down my shirt, and of course, all over the seat itself! We had to haul butt to a truckstop so that I could PAY for a shower to clean my hair. Luckily I had an extra shirt to change in to. Dh spent a good hour scrubbing the car before we were allowed back in to it, and then we promptly turned around and headed back home. Not a good day at all! But, I did learn not to leave the house without spare clothes, EVER!

DH and I traveled to San Antonio with my aunt and uncle that lived there. They had come up to WY to visit and we went back with them via driving. My sister had been living there for a few months, flew home decided she didn’t want to go back but left her truck down there. So we were going to drive it back up for her. Figured it would make a fun road trip. My uncle is known for speeding and getting at least two tickets per trip when they go to WY. He is also known for wanting to do that drive non stop, which is roughly 24 hours one way!!! We had made a gas/potty break stop about three hours from San Antonio. Dh goes into the gas station and buys the biggest Gatorade I have ever seen in my life. I swear it was a gallon size container. So my uncle warns him, that we are not stopping until we get to San Antonio. Dh just laughs and gets into the car. So about an hour later, dh has guzzled all his Gatorade and now has to pee really bad and he knows we have two more hours left. Just than my uncle gets pulled over for speeding and had to go sit in the cop car. Dh leans over and tells my aunt he has to pee. She starts scolding him (in a funny way) about that Johnny (my uncle) is not going to stop because now he is gonna be mad for getting a ticket-even though he was the one speeding. So she tells him, ok, she’ll take care of it. Well dh is pretty funny so as soon as my uncle gets in the car he starts singing the COPS show song (bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do when they come for you?) So that makes my uncle a little more mad since we are all laughing. About five miles down the road my aunt starts telling my uncle that her stomach hurts. He is mad so he is ignoring her. She keeps complaining, her stomach hurts, she’s gonna get sick, she has to poop, etc. Finally about ten minutes of her whining my uncle tells her “Francine, you are just gonna have to s**t your pants because we are not stopping!!” I am laughing, my aunt is still faking it that she is sick and by now dh is sweating because his bladder is about to explode. Five miles later we pull up to a gas station. DH bursts out the car before it had even stopped all the way and makes a mad dash for the bathroom. My aunt tells my uncle that her tummy is ok now. Of course he figured out that it was dh who had to go to the bathroom and he starts laughing.

Here's my story but not as exciting as the others on here so far: One year my parents decided to take me to Santa Claus IN for vacation. Well it was a long trip from Illinois to the other side of IN for me a kid. I tried to keep busy or occupied. Well, I ran out of things to do. So I started to signal semi drivers by making them honk their horn. Well, after I got the 3 or 4 truck driver to do that, my dad turned around and caught me. Told me to stop..after that they made a quick stop so I could get something to drink...hehee. I really did have fun though.

The winner is.......Araefinn! OMG! That is just too funny and crazy! I bet your Uncle was upset he got a ticket....but I would have been rolling on the floor watching your DH suffer in pain from having to pee all that way. And then on top of it, having your Aunt fake her own tummy issues to cover up for him. You had one person in the back pretending to almost have a blowout and then your DH in front trying to keep a straight face and not let on that his bladder was about to burst.....hahahahaha!

Connie:

I used to do that on long drives too. It was really fun to see how many truckers I could get to do it .

PinkGirl: I've had projectile vomit all over me from the kids, but never all the way from the backseat! I can feel the grossness you had to deal with though .

Sne_terry: Thank goodness you didn't end up driving away with that family .

Thanks for playing everyone. I've got another RAK gathering. Will post it up when I return from vacation in mid-May.
