Oh I can relate to this one. Last year we had many potty stops for our little girl during our Outback camping adventure. You've captured their expressions perfectly (you're obviously an experienced parent).
I remember these trips. As a child we would keep waiting and waiting and waiting. Your illustration is wonderful as always and captures that memory perfectly and with great humor.
hahaha, my husband hates to stop, it used to drive him crazy when the kids would have to stop and twenty minutes later the youngest one would say "I didn't have to go earlier, but I do now!"
Very amusing Jack - I remember that too, along with "I don't feel well, think I'm going to be sick..." oops, too late, all over the long suffering dog!
Oh.MY.gosh...does this one ever bring back memories for me. The 'eyes swimming' eyeballs are a riot. Your attention to detail is uncanny. You don't miss a beat! Thanks for the weekly laugh and Happy Palm Sunday.
Heh, you know I looked at this morning and then toddled off without reading the caption, and I was goin to say that I always make sure I have had a nature stop before I read your stuff, in case I have an unhappy 'accident' while I 'm laughing...
Huh Jack, this is a crackup, and the caption is mererely the icing on the cack -- err I mean 'cake'
It's even funnier because we can all identify with different parts of the image. Jack, you are pretty good ya' know :)
So true! So true! I had to laugh out loud this morning at this one. Thanks for the giggle and the blessing of your visit to my little corner of the world.
Hey Jack! Thanks for the comment. I live near Minneapolis, and we are about to get hit with a snow storm of 6 inches of snow! It is a major bummer, but this has to be the last of it...right?
I so remember those potty stops as a kid, while my Dad stood guard. With my daughter, we carried her potty with us! Lol! I remember her patiently reading her favorite book sitting on her potty, as the traffic whizzed by, at 2 yrs. old! LOL! At 16 now, she would die if she knew I'd told that story!
What a great illustration and thanks for that precious reminder!
He has risen, indeed, my friend. Thank you for the wonderful thoughts and comments on my blog yesterday. I feel blessed to have made web-friends like you who have supported and cheered my on as I explore the gifts I am just now realizing I've been given. Happy Easter!

It´s an emergency, of course. :)
ReplyDeleteI have six siblings, and when we were little, we spent a lot of time on the road. Of course, we all needed to "go" at different times. Poor Dad. :p
ReplyDeleteperfect. Great color & expressions. Reminds me of summers long ago
ReplyDeleteGreat illo.
ReplyDeleteI thought she was saying "are we there yet?" after the 1st mile.
Potty stops, my father wouldn't - discipline girl!

ReplyDeletehahahhaha! hilarious Jack :) that would be me needing to stop :P
ReplyDeleteGreat job,very funny! We've all been there!!!
ReplyDeleteLol. Maybe that is why my dad liked to drive at night on the family vacations. We were sleeping, so he didn't have to make all kinds of stops.
ReplyDeleteI remember these trips. As a child we would keep waiting and waiting and waiting. Your illustration is wonderful as always and captures that memory perfectly and with great humor.
ReplyDeleteAnd continues with about 50 more! SO TRUE! And why is it that Dads never have to go AT ALL!!!
ReplyDeleteVery recognizable situation!!
ReplyDeleteAre we nearly there yet?
ReplyDeleteGreat illustration!

ReplyDeleteGreat illustration and very, very, very, very, very wise and true.
