Family On Vacation

Where are we going? a simple question but words can be embosssed. Teen-age son thinks, "WHERE are we going?" and moans, "Do I HAVE to go?" Busy Mom thinks, "Where ARE we going?" meaning, "Honey, are you LOST?" The youngster thinks, "Where are WE going?" wond'ring, "Do I GET to go?" When Papa thinks, "Where are we GOING?" he asks, "How much will THIS cost?"

oh I love this. AS an English teacher for foreign students, I sometimes focus on the change of emphasis on words to show different meanings. this is awesome. Congrats.

Dear Reason, Really got a kick out of this as I remember similar conversations on family vacations. Of course, Dad focuses on the cost and Mom's afraid of getting lost. Congratulations on your win! Love, Carolyn

Thank you Carolyn, I appreciate your comment very much. Hope you are doing well these days. We had Halloween Trick of Treat tonight with a stiff wind and low forties temps.
