I've never told a lie, and that makes me a liar;

Last night/this morning was the most fun time I have ha with my mother in a long time.
It all started as a harmless trip to IHOP, and ended up with a midnight rendezvous at a Pennsylvania Wal-Mart.

So here it goes.
My mother came home from work and decided she wanted to go to IHOP and see what kind of food there.
I thought for the longest time that they only had pancakes there, but I mean it is called the International House of PANCAKES.
So we went there and ate and my mother said that we need to stop at Wal-Mart because we need a new toilet paper holder for the bathroom.
So we went to the one right up the street from our house.
We got the toilet paper holder and then me mom started looking at the clothes.
She saw this purple shirt and pants thing and she wanted one but they didn't have her size.
We paid for our stuff and went to the other Wal-Mart Super center that's further away.
And they didn't have her size either.
So this went on for 2 more Wal-Marts, until we had to drop Tuesday off at the house because she wouldn't stop complaining.
Then we went right back on our way to 2 more Wal-Marts, which were both unsuccessful.

So my mom decided she really wanted that outfit.
We drove home and she told Jen to look up 24 hour Wal-Marts in Pennsylvania because it was about 9:30 when we got home.
So we found one and we set off.
And while we were driving my mom realized that she forgot her tea so we didn't have anything to drink for the hour and 27 minute car ride.
Well, we got off the beltway and followed the directions, but that's when things got messy.
First of all let me just say that it is DARK on the Pennsylvanian roads at 10 p.m.
Then we got to a roundabout where we went the wrong way twice and once ended up in the Lucas' family yard.
So I kept accidentally mis-reading the street signs.
Then the directions lied and told us to turn right when we were supposed to turn left.
So we got there in one piece and went into the Wal-Mart.

Everything was much neater in there.
But we found the thing she was looking for and left with some beverages too.
Then we had a really hard time trying to figure out where we were supposed to be going .
You'd think it would be easy because all we would have to do is reverse the directions, but it isn't easy at all.
We got out of the parking lot OK, but when it was time to make the first turn we went the wrong way.
So we tried going in a gas station parking lot to turn around, but that was a mistake.
First we couldn't find a way to get out and then we did there was a sign saying that you couldn't turn out the way we needed to, so we had to find a different way out.
So we were driving around the parking lot laughing our heads off and I'm sure the gas station owner thought we were on major drug.
We finally got out and went the right way.

We started driving down those dark roads and somehow we got really lost and it was to dark to read the street signs and my mom almost hit a car.
So we drove around until we finally found someone else to ask directions from.
And we did thankfully.
We went on our merry way.

While we were driving my mom starts talking about how if we hit a deer we would be screwed because it would total our car, so I tried to make her slow down because it was really dark and there was a deer watch sign and we didn't know the roads.
And we started going up and down hills like a roller coaster and my mom was going fast and then I saw a deer and screamed really loudly for really no reason.

The worst part of the whole trip, was the smell.
On the way there we had to smell horse manure for half of the trip and I had a really empty stomach so it made it really upset.
On the way back I knew we were going to have to smell it again but what I wasn't expecting was to have to deal with skunk smell.
It smelled horrible and apparently humans can smell a skunk up to 100 feet away or something like that.
And the smell stayed in the car for basically the whole long journey home.
It was a fun night and I hope we go on more family road trips (without Tuesday).
