Ok so look…I have been lucky enough to experience walking to school from living across the street, driving near the school and walking my kids just a block away..to even putting my kids on the bus before sunrise and Drum Roll….CAR LINE.

 Lord have mercy Car Line will quickly test your patience as a parent,a human, and how far you can be pushed as an individual….like in an episode of Law and Order when the killer says they will jump off the ledge type of patience..yeah it’s that deep!

I must say that car line ain’t for everyone.

I’ll admit when we first experienced car line we had no clue it would take 40 minutes to go 2 miles. I wasn’t aware that 600 plus cars would be in line with me dropping off their kids too! This was like Disneyland parking lot during the holiday season, or trying to get out of a parking structure after a DJ Quick concert.

I just assumed dumbley ( up totally made that word up) enough  I’d roll up 20 minutes veggie the bell rings and drop the kid off and we’d be good right!? WRONG

So apparently you need to arrive at least 40 minutes early and even then you can run into some “obstructions”

Now I’m not talking about road work in taking about some annoying things that can be avoided!

1. Having your child still eating a bowl of cereal when it’s time to exit the car
2. Children putting on socks and shoes while exiting the car
3. The annoying parent on FB who isn’t paying attention so they are holding up the line…the same idiot that causes you to miss the red light when you are rushing home to go to the bathroom..
4. The child and parent that feel like 25 goodbyes are necessary so the child refuses to exit the vehicle..this may require counseling at some point
5. The kid who is still watching Finding Nemo and is holding up the line..yeah I see you kid! Spoiler Alert Nemo is Found! 
6. The mom fighting with the daughter about that messy bun..trust me outs not worth the fight, fight her when she’s in high school and wants to wear crop tops and leather skirts.
7. The kid in the carseat…let’s unlatch him once we are in the parking lot…the speed limit is 3 mph..it’s safe..we didn’t have carseats,seatbelts or helmets growing up.
8. Let’s teach our kids to put their jackets and backpacks on before is our turn to exit the vehicle..if they complain they are hot roll the window down or run the air or tell them we didn’t have either growing up.
9. Ok…so let’s say your child is like 2 inches tall and they have a  project due of the solar system, how about you park your car and help them carry it in our you drop it offn later? Instead of having your child fall out of the car causing a scene and ruining the project YOU stayed up all night doing!?
10. Patience my friend..if you decide to brave car line for the fun of waking up in zombie mode just know that this shall pas as soon as the kid who runs back to the car to grab his backpack stops holding up the @$&#?*! car line.
