Irwin bounces happily in his seat, looking back and forth from Dora to Tou.
"Are we there yet?"

Jamie giggled. She knew that sentence was going to come sooner or later.
"No, we're about a quarter there" she said, looking in the top mirror so she could see Irwin.

Irwin groans and flops onto his side so that his skull is resting in Dora's lap. She laughs and rubs his ears.
"You need to be patient, okay? We'll get there, don't worry."
Irwin nods slightly and waits a few seconds...
"Are we there now?"

Jamie just laughed, aswell as Tou.
"No, we're not there yet." Jamie said, still giggling.
Then Tou had an idea.
"Why don't we play I-Spy?"

Irwin quickly sits up and Dora starts untangling him from his seatbelt.
"Oooh, I-Spy? What's that, mate?"

"Well .." Tou began. "I-Spy is a really good game. You look outside, or inside the car until you see something. Then you go 'I spy with my little eye, something that begins with ..'. So if it was a tree, you'd say 'I spy with my little eye, something that begins with t'! Geddit'?"

Irwin nods, excited about this new game. "Okay, can we play now?" His tag wags quickly.

Tou smiled. "Sure! I'll go first."
She looked out of her window for a while, then turned back.
"Ok. I spy with my little eye, something beginning with ... c!"

"Um... crocodile!" Irwin's tail wags some more. "Did I win?"

Tou blinked. "And, um, where'd you see a crocodile?" she asked, trying to stop herself laughing. Poor Irwin didn't quite get the game yet.

Irwin's ears flick backward embarrasedly. "I thought crocodile started with 'c'..."

"Yes, yes it does! But you have to see the things outside. And there ain't no crocodiles outside!"

Irwin gazes out the window for a moment before turning back to Tou. "Is it a cloud?" he asks quietly.

[Be back later, I'm going for a LONG bath because I don't feel well]
Tou's eyes beamed.
"Yes! Yes! That's it, a cloud! Well done Irwin" she exclaimed.

((Okay, I need to have lunch anyway. Hope you feel better!))
Irwin giggles and claps his paws together. "I did it!"
