Alice: Be quiet, you children! Stop all that fussing RIGHT NOW! Alice: If you don't I'll turn this thing around and we will go right back home! Alice: I have had it up to here with you! Alice: One more peep and I'm coming up there! Alice: This is your last warning! BEHAVE! Nara: Is that what your mom and dad say on car trips? Alice: No. But that's how moms and dads on TV shows act. Alice: My dad points out the window at boring things and my mom sings too loud with the radio. Who wants to play like that? Nara: Really.

You have to draw your play-source material where you find it. So glad that’s not representative of the Otterloops, though!

I was 19 or 20 riding in a car with Mom when she suddenly started singing along with the radio. I was startled. I’d never heard her sing in the first place. She stopped singing right after that; I think she was surprised that I was startled.
