So, which radio station is your favorite?

Picture this:

It's been a while since we've been to our friend's place. There's a get together today. We were supposed to be at their place by 7pm. It's 7pm right now. We're still at home. We were headed out about 15 minutes ago when the little girl decided she needed to have a feeding right away.

But now, she's all satisfied. I make her wear a cap, pair of mittens, pair of socks, a sweater and pants on top of her onesie. The status: she's not happy. She barely tolerates her onesie, so all the extra layers are not appreciated.

As we're already late, we busy ourselves loading her into the car seat and strapping her in. Tied in, that's the last straw. She hates it. By the time the car seat is loaded in the car, the crying is on full volume. She's not happy that she can barely move at all. Who puts a little girl like that, she demands!

We quickly throw in all the supplies for an evening out of home. Her milk supply is packed in the diaper bag. Pacifier? Check. Blanket? Check. Wallet, car keys, and we're off.

Quickly get the car moving, hoping that might pacify her. No. Call out her name, sing a song to pacify her. No effect. Give her the pacifier to quieten her. Don't want it. Try to feed her to calm her down. No thanks. Out-loud her. Can't. Running out of options.. Finally, turn on the radio, loud, classic rock station. Suddenly it's quiet, calm and peaceful again.

So, which radio station is your favorite?
