The Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

I have four brothers and sisters, we are all very close in age, in fact my older brother is only 11 months older than me. So imagine the stress to my parents when taking us on holiday. We mainly had holidays in devon, cornwall or france when I was younger, in other words we always drove all the way. As we were children, and children are very annoying the minute we left the house we began that age old song and dance "Are we nearly there yet?" Quite possibly the most annoying thing to hear from five children, especially as we would ask it every 15 seconds for as long as it took us to get where we were going.

My Mom had a secret weapon up her sleave though, she had an even more annoying answer, so annoying that after a while we gave up asking, as the answer would annoy and frustrate us, and cause us to plot my Mothers demise quitely in the back of the car. The answer was "Every time the wheels turn, we get a little bit closer"

Touche' Mom, Touche'.
