Fight with the sun

We were driving home from Grandma’s house when Hannah started making a fuss.

“NOOOOOOO!” She shouted

“NOOOO, GO AWAY SUN!”

I looked in the mirror and tried not to laugh. Her arms were flapping around like she was attempting to defend herself against an entire swarm of mosquitoes.

“GET OUT OF MY FACE SUN! LEAVE ME ALONE SUN!”

It was the afternoon and the sun was getting lower in the sky. Hannah’s car seat is right in the middle of the back seat. There is no front seat to shield her poor little eyes from that blazing Australian sun shining through the wind screen. Sure it would be easier to actually get her in the car if her seat was to one side, but then if Aaron and I wanted to drive Grandma somewhere, we couldn’t. Because how would an 82 year old woman climb over a child’s or baby’s car seat and then manage to fit in between them?

Home wasn’t far away, only a couple of minutes. But Hannah was getting increasingly unsettled.

“Shut your eyes sweetie, then the sun won’t be in them.” I told her as she flapped about.

“IT’S STILL IN MY EYES!” She yelled while they were still closed.

“Put your head down and look at the floor, then it won’t be in your eyes anymore.” I told her.

“GO AWAY SUN, I DON’T LIKE YOU! GET OUT OF MY EYES! GO AWAY! GO AWAY! DON’T BE MEAN SUN!”

She started crying. Crying and flapping and screaming for the sun to get out of her eyes.

I felt bad for her, but at the same time, it was pretty hilarious to glimpse in the rear view mirror.
