When You Want to Look But Can't Take Your Eyes Off the Road

We drove back from Columbus this morning. Along the way, I witnessed one of the dumbest and most endearing moments in family history. 

Dad is driving and mom is in the passenger seat, browsing Facebook on her iPhone. She sees the above picture and laughs. She hands me her phone and from the backseat, I look and laugh and hand the phone back. She wants to share it with my dad, but doesn't want him to take his eyes off the road. So she describes the photo series frame by frame. 

Imagine you're my dad: you're a 57-year old computer programer driving through central Indiana on an overcast day and you could really give a shit about viral internet photos.

"So at the top of the photo it says 'How to catch a cat.' Step one: bring a box.' Then it says 'Step 2: Wait.' So there's a box that's on the floor and there's a white cat inside it. There's also a marmalade cat on top of the box. And the white cat inside is really filling up the box because the box is small. Next scene is marmalade cat inside the box with the white cat. Then the third picture has the two cats in the box and another cat on top of it, waiting to get in. Then in the final scene, the cat that was on top of the box in now crammed into the box with the other two cats. They're all really squished in there. The third cat can't even turn around because its so full of cats and you just see his black tail hanging out. And there's a fourth cat sitting on top of the box."
