Another reason my kids will need counseling

Setting: Third row seat of my car. Two screaming kids, who for the love of God just cannot control themselves, one mom who has had it.

Mom: You know this thing has 4 wheel drive.

Kids: Yeah (back to fighting over a DS)

Mom: But to turn it on you cannot be in the car or at least not in the way back.

Kids: (they look up, but continue to fight over the freaking DS. By the way I now hate pokemon)

Mom: Yea, with this model to make room for all the 4x4 stuff the rear opens and the back seats flip out.

Kids: (now wide eyed, no more fighting, checking traffic out behind them, and lets remember its August in Virginia) It does not

Mom: Sure does. Why do you think the other car did not have a third row of seats. (for those of you that don't don't know my old vehicle was also an Explorer)

Kids: (still wide eyed, still checking traffic behind them) I don't believe you!

Mom: Well let me just press this little button.........

Kids: (in terror) NOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Okay so I am so going to Hell, but the rest of the ride home was so nice. The last 10 minutes of it anyways was quite. I think by the time we arrived they had decided quietly I might add in the way back that I was lying, but they still weren't chancing it by challenging me with it again while we were moving.
