Why I know Rachel is becoming more used to commuting

..the first thing Rachel said today after I woke her up was: "I wanna get on the I-5!"

(Note that she says "THE I-5" instead of just "I-5." I think that's a West Coast thing because I don't remember ever saying that I wanted to get on "the Route 80," it was just, "Route 80." Ugh, is my daughter really a West Coaster? How did THAT happen?)

After I posted her remarks on Facebook, my friend Dave Jones noted that pretty soon, she'll want her own E-Z pass.
