A family decides they're going to take a long drive, and their car does not have air conditioning.
But they want to go out to dinner.
They decide to take the drive to Abilene, which I had never heard of.
You apparently have.
Anyway, yeah, they take the drive.
They have dinner.
They drive back.
The whole thing is a four-hour trip.
And they're all overheated, they're exhausted.
And they just sit there in silence.
They can't even say a word.
And then one of them starts venting about just how unpleasant the whole experience was.
And they start pointing fingers.
And then each person says, but I didn't want to go.
I thought you wanted to go.
Well, no, no, no.
I didn't want to go either.
I thought it was you.
And even the person who suggested the trip in the first place says, I don't want to go.
I was just trying to come up with something for us to do, but I wasn't into it.
