Make Lemonade

I was driving William to school with the girls in the car several weeks ago.

William: You have to be careful - we have to drive the speed limit.
Mama: Yes, I am driving the speed limit, but we have to hurry a little so we aren't late for school.
William: Drive the speed limit.  That sign says "Speed Limit 25"
Mama: Yes, it does.
Amelia: NO!  It is not speed limit.
William: Yes it is.  Diaper head.
Amelia: NO! It says Speed Lemon.
William: No Amelia!  It says Speed LIMIT Amelia!  Sound it out!
Amelia: No! It is Speed Lemon.  I can't sound it out because I can't see the sign.  I know it says Speed Lemon because that is what Mama says.  Speed Lemon.
William: (in exasperation) AMELIA!  It says SPEED LIMIT!

(arguing continues)
(and continues)
(and continues)

until we finally get to school.  It might have the longest 8 minute car ride of my life.
