We were in the minivan heading to story time when a limo pulled out in front of me. My first thought of course was, 'Hey, what is Prince (or the 'Artist formerly known as Prince', I can't keep up) doing in my neighborhood?' Since we live in Minneapolis, the only star that lives here is Prince. Anyhow, I dismissed this after realizing that the limo was not purple and it was only 9am, Prince was more than likely still in some fluffy, over-sized California king bed sleeping off a hangover.
So then, I started thinking maybe this was just some ordinary mom, taking her children to a story time-like event, I mean, why not? A limo actually seems like a fairly practical choice for me. It probably gets gas mileage about that of a Suburban or something, I could nicely fit my four car seats in (with leg room) and potentially another two car seats (bring on the extra income!).

(I don't own photoshop, this is the best I could do. Give me a break.)
Then there are the added benefits of all the entertainment within a limo; a television, a sippy cup bar, sparkly lights, a 'fireman's' pole and for the chauffeur (me), the privacy screen; one peep from the kids and I'm totally pushing the up screen button.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2_GkeD6a8SsZ3zX8krnlOhmKLF-R9f9NZvr8sttnfTh8zAAwCbOZQqVDzyGLVvPAkYbDgwWaLYy_tBbtGfVGpeMn7ueKvIbFdcLTDnr3KsCh-2tgszPk83o4GNtpTe2ysEO64FYMq2apH/s400/insidefunlimo-1.jpg)
Plus, imagine the looks when I'm sitting in the 'U' waiting for Henry after preschool. Heads would turn just like mine did, when I saw Prince's limo.
(Not that I don't love a little attention.)
I'm so trading in my van.

LOL! I love it.
Sounds like a plan..esp, the privacy screen. I'd love one of those!
You are so silly. Wanna write something for us about Blogher?
P.S. Are you feeling the comment love? I'm being a very good sister, a little notice, please...
i think you are onto something...
especially the firemans pole :)
That SO sounds like the way to go!!
And yes, I TOTALLY need one of those UP buttons! Suppose they sell those for Toyota's??
That is so funny!! I love this post!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving such sweet comments. I hope to see you back there soon:-)
LOL, I was thinking about one of those "fireman's poles" for my bedroom, to spice things up a little ;-) Hardy-har-har!! Tell me when you start driving around in a limo and I'll come to Minneapolis for a drive. It could probably fit me and my three along with yours. And I KNOW they serve drinks in those big special long cars :-)
Funny, but maybe you're onto something...a limo could fit all 3 of my boys and their sporting equipment...hmmm...
Sounds like a fab idea!
You are so smart!! Why didn't anyone think of this before? I mean, I've been using limos as a means to get drunk and hang out windows for all of these years. I never even thought to use it as a form of child transportation. I'm sure you're right that the gas mileage is the same as an SUV. I'll chip in if you want to buy one.
Yes. I want one, too.
I'm getting a Lincoln limo customized for 3 boys as we speak!!!
wouldn't that just be out of this world!
haha! practical use of a limo... you're a marketing genius.
