Seriously?!

*DISLAIMER* Please do not get offended by this post... it's just a rant, and if you don't know me well enough to know that I'm smiling while writing it, then just don't read this!!!



Okay this rant is about technology... and this has been bugging me for a little while ;) So, I used to think that I wanted a van with those doors that open by themselves, but recently I have changed my mind. It drives me crazy that kids who have those vans are completely unable to close or open the door to my van. Seriously?! They can't close the door after they get in, and they can't open the door back up to get out, and for some reason they think that maybe if they just close it harder... which in reality makes it pop back open... so that doesn't end up working for them either! It's just sad. My four year old can open and close it from the outside, and open and close it from the inside. It really shouldn't be that hard. But apparently it is. AND it's causing me way more stress than it should be in my life right now!!! It's hard enough to get 6 people out the door in the morning... especially when they all need to be ready for the day (luckily that's only a few days a week... the rest of the time two of us can just go in our jammies!) But then to be always in a hurry... and have the whole inability to operate a manual door thing... just makes it take longer for everything!!! ARGHHH!!! ... okay I feel better now... I know it's not really that big of a deal, but it is comical to see that kids who have vans with power doors are completely clueless of how to operate an "old fashioned" manual door ;)

This makes me laugh almost as much as the time my little girl tried to "push" the crank handle on hubs manual window!

I think I know who you're talking about :) Maybe we need to practice...sorry!! Rant away. You've been a saint taking my kiddos the last couple weeks and you can always say no :) I wouldn't be offended.
