The Middlest Sister

7. Heading South

Mom turns the radio dial in the car.
Mom starts singing along with the radio
Nicki looks green in the car.
Nicki: Mommy, I don't feel good
Mom: Nicki, please not now! We're not even half a mile away from the house!
Nicki: But I really, reeeeeeeeeeally don't feel good!
Chrissy looks alarmed. Mom: Sweetie, we're only 2 minutes into a 20 hour car ride. You can't do this now!
The car rattles as Nicki barfs. "UUUUUUUUHT!"
Mom clicks the radio off.
Mom on the CB radio: BLUEBIRD TO BIG BIRD; WE'VE GOT A CODE GREEN. REPEAT: CODE GREEN. DO YOU READ ME. Dad: TEN-FOUR, BLUEBIRD. I HEAR YA LOUD AND CLEAR.
Chrissy looks out the car window. "Sigh. Gioodbye, Massachusetts."
