Six Silly Arguments Children Have in the Car

Six Silly Arguments Children Have In The Car

Let’s go, people, and get in the car. We need to run right down the road to the store. You think to yourself, it is just 10 minutes, we can do this. Wrong! Before you leave the driveway, the competition of who buckled their seatbelt first becomes an argument.

Below are the six arguments that I hear on repeat in the car.

What day of the week it is—this is a timeless argument. It does not matter what day of the week it is; one will pick any other six days and double down with unmatched confidence that they are right.

Who gets to get out of the car first? This is a fun way to continue a senseless fight from one stop to another.

Who is allowed to look out which windows? “Mommy, he is looking out my window. Please tell him to stop, it is my window.” The audacity to look out a window that they deemed “their” window.

Whether animals were in a field, we just passed. Child one notices a horse and mentions it to the car. Child two insists there was no horse just for the sake of disagreeing.

If they like ice cream. Of course, we all scream for ice cream. Will they still argue over who loves it more? Yes!

Who gets to announce, “We are here,” first? This argument confirms what you already know: Children can argue over anything.

Please let me know I’m not alone, and comment below what silly things your children argue over in the car.
