Oh, she doesn't only suspect it, she KNOWS it.

Merf, The laptop thing is perfect. I almost forgot (I even have a 12V car adapter, plus GPS/maps for it!). HOURS OF ENDLESS entertainment! Taking the focus off the slow car is key, and this is just the way to get it done. Of course this could backfire, since I'm sure my son will want to watch nothing but the Wiggles . . .

Oh, I'll be FASing away!! Its simply second nature now. I'll be like "LOOK! A California Condor" [switch car off, on] "Oh wait, maybe just a buzzard, never mind". Restarting the car with a manual is more subtle, no need to touch the key.
