Literally Driving Him Insane

(My family is taking a 12-hour road trip. My dad is driving, and is playing a song with ‘Ay yi yi yi’ over and over in the chorus. I have headphones on so it blocks out the repeated song, but my six year old brother doesn’t.)

Brother: “Dad, can we PLEASE play another song?”

Dad: “No.”

Brother: “Mom!”

Mom: “Listen to your father, kids. If he says no, then he means no!”

(Finally we arrive. We go to get dinner at some restaurant and my brother has this haunted look on his face like he’s been through Hell.)

Brother: *mumbling* “Ay yi yi yi… Ay yi yi yi…”

Me: “Mom, there’s something wrong with him! He’s gone dumb!”

Mom: “Are you okay?”

Brother: “Fine, I have that song in my head!” *mumbling* “Ay yi yi yi…”

(He must’ve had it in there good because it took nearly a week for him to act normally again!)
