Why "like a Herd of Turtles?" For years, whenever we traveled, my great fear was of landing on the evening news as the woman who left a child behind at a rest area. So it is our tradition to count off every time we get in the car.
From "One!" (Dad) to "Eleven!" (Kylie).
Then I say, "And we're off ..." and the family choruses in reply,
"... like a herd of turtles!"
It works: we haven't left anyone behind ... yet ...
Lol I like that our family has progressed from holding up pictures of absent family members to dead pop stars in our birthday photos.
