Hilarious indeed. Or it is when you can let it be.

When Ava and I are on the road, and she is driving, which she tends to do more of, especially on long trips, I do the ‘calling out thing’. Just chatter. “Oh, a train.” “57 Chevy!” “Wow, a Llama farm.” (There seem to be more and more of those around… okay, I’m digressing.)

But every time I point out something, or read a sign, a little part of me thinks, “ADHD and Cows!” And I have tiny flash of Danny DeVito in Throw Momma From the Train, when he’s telling Billy Crystal he’s murdered his wife, and then points at a billboard, “Oh, cows!”

Whereas when I’m driving and Ava sees something or reads a sign, I never think ADHD. But then she tends to point out farm animals and pretty houses. I tend to comment on machines, vehicles, and weird stuff.

Also, I read signs aloud. Does anyone else do that? Not interesting signs. Just signs. “Bob and Beth’s Cafe.” “See Santa’s Village”, “Azaleas 50% off.”
