Why?

Why is this drive so long? Why do we have to move so far away? Why do we always have to be moving? Why cant I just have a normal life? These are all very good questions that never seem to get answered. we have only made it to Tennessee so far. We still have a pretty long way to go. It's cool seeing all these amazing landscapes throughout the U.S., but after a while you get bored. I have been in this car for 2 nights straight! There was a car crash about ten miles back, that's about the most excitement we have gotten this whole drive.

"Hey, Sammy, do you want to stop for some breakfast? You can choose where...?" My dad called from the front of the car.

"Uh... Yeah, sure. How about iHop? I am craving pancakes!" I responded grabbing my stomach as throwing myself forward.

"Ok. Sounds perfect. Honey, are you ok with eating there?" My dad asked my mom, taking his eyes off the road for a quick second.

"Well, I mean, I suppose I am ok with eating pancakes." she said giving my dad a humorous smile then leaned over and kissed him.

"HEY! HEY! Whatch the road Mr.!"

"Oh no!" My dad did a swerving motion with the car then steadied the car. "Sammy, if it hadn't been for you we all could have been in some BIG trouble."

I flipped my dark brown hair while saying,"Yup! That's just because I am SO amazing!"

They both smiled at me as we all laughed. Then something happened. The worst thing that could possibly happen on a highway! We got stopped at a toll booth!! When my dad asked why the guy had stopped us he...he...he pulled out a gun!
