Before I had children, I did not understand the minivan phenomena that was taking over U.S. roads. All I knew is that I wanted to steer clear of minivans. I was one of those people that thought minivan drivers drove too fast and swerved too much. Whatever was going on inside of there scared me.
When I first had a baby, I realized right away that these little people take up a lot of space. Between the carseat, the stroller, the pack-n-play, diapers, bottles, bags, toys, snacks...my little Toyota Corolla just wasn't cutting it.
But I was still too cool for a minivan. I could mother just fine in a Toyota 4Runner. Which did well for me until baby #2.
More little people, more stuff.
So I finally took the plunge. I am now a minivan mom and proud of it. The conveniences minivans offer far outweigh the sacrifice of the cool factor. About this same time is when I realized what was really going on inside of a minivan. Moms are generally in a hurry (which is why they are driving too fast) and they are incredibly distracted by all the goings on of her little people (which is why they swerve too much.)
A couple of years ago I saw this video and laughed until I cried. If babies and minivans (or "vinivans" as my kids first called it) are in your future, beware. There is more truth to this video than most moms care to admit.

ReplyDelete"Duct tape is the perfect way to say 'Sorry, Fellas, this lady's got a man!" My favorite line!!! Funny video. I drove through Wendy's yesterday after we got the van and REALLY wanted to hold the bag out the window so it wouldn't ruin my new (to me) car smell. I know it will happen eventually though. I'll get lazy and start passing French fries to the backseat! :-)
