I’ve done a lot of driving on this trip, maybe more than I’ve ever done during a single trip to Michigan. I’m not complaining, though, as I actually enjoy driving. My 3-year-old niece, on the other hand, might have a different outlook. When we started making our way to Lake Michigan, after about only 10 minutes into a 2-plus hour drive, I heard her say, “this is taking too long.” After teasing her about this, it became a theme and running joke for our subsequent drives, regardless of the length, and I’m convinced that, at a certain point, she would just do it sarcastically for fun. Hearing it one of the subsequent times made me think of this Kinks tune.
