Quotes from the road:

Christian:  Are we still in Dallas?

Me:  No. 

Christian:  Are we in Houston? 

Me:  No.  (It had been about forty minutes, maybe.)

Christian:  Where are we?

Me:  Ennis.

Christian:  Venice?

Me:  No, Ennis.

Christian:  Venice?  Did you say Venice?

Me:  No, ENNIS.

Christian:  Dennis?

Me:  No. ENNIS!

Mike:  Dennis without the D.

Christian:  Annis?

Mike and Myself:  ENNIS! 

We finally passed a sign that he could read.

Christian:  Ah!  Ennis!

(In his defense, he was in the back of the van...)

Driving into downtown Houston as the sun was setting Michaela said,"I'm so glad we came!  We don't get sunsets like this in Dallas!"  She went on to say,"You know, with all the pink and purple..."

On the way home Christian asked if we were in Ennis (yes, Ennis, again!).  I said no.  He said,"Are we out of Ennis?"  I took this to mean had we driven through it and were now on the other side of it.  I said,"No."  He looked at me as though he were not to be taken for a fool and replied,"Well, if we're not in Ennis, then we're out of it." 

Well, you got me there.  Why do they ask me questions if they already know the answer?
