Ipod Issues

We have an enormously loooong drive to school and back each day, and to help ease our traffic droll-dum-ness I bought an ipod.  Its great!  Now with the push of a button I can randomly choose a song for each of them while posing no danger to other drivers - like I used to do - searching for cds, changing cds, sorting out aguments about who's turn it is etc.   Then even more recently, Robbie bought his own ipod (after saving for over a year), now there was near silence in the car while both boys wore their own ear plugs and listened to their own music.  This was all very refreshing for about a week, Until I felt a bit left out.  Suddenly I felt like the stinky foreign taxi driver that no one wants to speak to.  A Pick them up, drop them off, See you later, sort of arrangement.  So, to get a little attention my way, I put MUSIC VIDEOS onto my ipod (Robbie can't afford these).  So with just one ipod to watch we are back to 'TURNS"!  Ah, Blissfully refreshing arguing.

Love this!! I am not looking forward to being ignored! I don't have an ipod and do lots of walking and there are lots of zombies out there with their ipods! the people sitting at the bus stops are the funniest... drifting off into space, not showing the slightest intrest in the person next to them....
