Awesomeland

Today, on the way home from ballet class, I was talking with Max about how a week from now, we'll be driving through New Mexico on our way to Texas. Driving through New Mexico is unequivocally the worst part of the drive, so Max proposed some changes to New Mexico to make it better.

First of all, he thinks that it needs to be not stinky. It will smell like candy. All the kinds of candy.

Second, the name "New Mexico" has been deemed lame and thinks the state should be renamed "Awesomeland."

Third, driving through the state should be fun and not boring, so the roads should be more like roller coasters. And you have to trade in your normal car at the state border for one that's "more awesome."

What constitutes a "more awesome" car? you might ask. (Because I did.) A "more awesome" car has lots of buttons that you can read and see what they do. These buttons do things like give you candy, food, soda, juice and water. (That's the order he put them in.)

If we make it a reality before he grows up, he'll move there when he grows up and move to a house that's really awesome and the house has buttons too and they say what they mean and also one gets you water, one gets you milk, one gets you soda, and the other ones get you fruit or candy.

This is how we feel about this proposal and I think we can all agree that the proposed changes are for everyone's benefit, so let's work together to make it happen. Awesomeland. It's gonna be a thing, with your help.
