are we there yet?

Ta-Wan

This has been popping up in my head all day but is hardly worth the time writing. Still, here I seem to be writing it. Someone told me about a book or it was reported speech or, oh, I don't know, I heard it somewhere.

A family are driving to a far off place and the kids keep up with the very common mantra of "Are we there yet dad?"

Anyway the dad is a bit of a zen-head and wants to teach his kids a valuable lesson so waits for the next time they ask.

"Are we there yet dad?"

"You are always 'there'" he replies.
