When I was young, I dreamt of sports cars. Now I have a van.

[Busy Belly]

As middle age and four children have entered my life, I find myself the owner of a new Multivan. It's big, noisy, but oh so practical. It was mostly chosen because it's one of the few vehicles that has enough anchor points to comply with the new NSW laws that demand all kids under 7 are in a booster seat.

So I am probably less excited than you about owning this thing, but I'm sure it will grow on me over time.
