"Hey Cara and Victor!", said Cara's mom. "We are taking a 10-hour car trip to Six Flags because the world's tallest roller coaster is there and we want to ride it!" "But mom!", said Cara. "I hate long car trips! Can't we just go to Dorney Park?" "No Cara!", said Cara's mom. "Dorney Park could use a little more tender love and care, while Six Flags has Kingda Ka and more! Plus, we go to Dorney Park a lot!"

"Well, okay!", said Cara. "And Cara!", said Cara's dad. "Since the car ride is very long, we expect you to be on you best behavior! Understood?" "Alright, dad!", said Cara. "I will be on my best behavior!" "Now that's what I wanted to hear!", said Cara's dad happily. "Now let's go!"

And so they got in the car. "Okay, kids!", said Cara's dad after 19 minutes. "I am going to play 'Guards Of The Galaxy' for the car trip!" "Yay!", cried Victor. "I love that movie!" "But dad!", said Cara. "I want to watch Barney's Great Adventure!" "We will watch Barney's Great Adventure after 'Guards Of The Galaxy' is finished!", said Cara's dad.

"But I hate 'Guards Of The Galaxy!' ", said Cara. "I want to watch Barney's Great Adventure!" "SHUT UP, CARA!", yelled Cara's dad. "IF I HEAR ONE MORE BACKTALK FROM YOU, YOU WILL GET A STRIKE!" "I WANT TO WATCH BARNEY'S GREAT ADVENTURE! I WANT TO WATCH BARNEY'S GREAT ADVENTURE! I WANT TO WATCH BARNEY'S GREAT ADVENTURE!", yelled Cara.

"That's it!", said Cara's mom. "You are getting a strike! Four more strikes and you're grounded!" 3 hours later, Cara's dad was getting hungry. So they went to McDonald's to get something to eat. "Hi!", said a woman when they got in the McDonald's. "Welcome to McDonald's. I'm Georgia, and how may I help you?"

Cara's mom ordered a bacon-Mac-duple, large fries, the southwest salad, and a large sprite. Cara's dad ordered the chicken duple, large fries, the ranch snack rap, and an extra large coke. Victor ordered the Happy Meal's chicken nuggets, fries, Star Wars toys, and chocolate milk. Cara ordered the bacon clemhouse burger, fries, chicken nuggets, and the vanilla shake.

"I'm sorry to say this.", said Georgia. "But we are out of vanilla shakes, if you don't mind." "What?", said Cara. "Is this some kind of joke?" "Don't feel bad, little girl!", said Georgia. "We have chocolate shakes! You can have one of those!" "What?", said Cara. "Why would I want a chocolate shake?"

"Because Cara.", said Cara's dad. "There are no more vanilla shakes, so she's offering you a chocolate shake." "NO!", yelled Cara. "I WANT A VANILLA SHAKE, AND THAT'S FINAL!" "Well, little girl, it's just a shake. Calm down!" "Yeah, Cara!", said Cara's mom. "Either get the chocolate shake or get your second strike!"

"I WANT THE VANILLA SHAKE! I WANT THE VANILLA SHAKE! I WANT THE VANILLA SHAKE! I WANT THE VANILLA SHAKE! I WANT THE VANILLA SHAKE! GIVE IT TO ME RIGHT NOW!" "That's it!", said Georgia. "I quit! I hope your parents ground you!" "And that gives you our second strike!", said Cara's dad. "Let's go back to the car and continue our trip!"

1 hour later, Cara's dad asked Victor if he wanted to play Mad Libs. "Sure!", said Victor. "Hey!", snapped Cara. "I want to play Mad Libs!" "Hang on, Cara!", said Victor. "I am doing this story! When I finish, we can switch off!" "NO!", yelled Cara. "I WANNA PLAY! GIVE IT TO ME!" "I'm almost done, Cara!", said Victor. "You can have it soon."
