A young girl and her family embark on what is sure to be an amazing trip to the local park . . . until her parents are waylaid by the friendly couple who live next door. Minutes turn into lifetimes as the girl falls into a frustrated, impatient downward spiral. Will her parents ever stop talking?! This is a clever, irreverent take on a universal childhood dilemma, written and illustrated by two stars in the comics world.

A girl's plans are ruined when her parents have the audacity to stop to talk to the neighbors in this laugh-out-loud picture book about patience.
