While parents don't particularly love driving kids from one activity to the next, carpooling is a great way to cut down on all those trips back and forth. It's also a chance for moms, dads, and caregivers to overhear some pretty hilarious conversations. We put the question out to our own friends as well as the CafeMom community and asked them to share the wackiest things they've been privy to while acting as chauffeur -- and their answers will crack you up.
From spilling family secrets to getting things completely wrong, kids can make the carpool a lot more interesting. Take a peek at what some of these parents have overheard and prepare to roar with laughter.

As we were driving somewhere, he announced, 'Daddy says when I stay dry at night I'm gonna get a woody!' Trying not to burst out laughing, I said 'What?' He then proceeded to explain that when he can stop wetting the bed at night, his father was going to buy him the 'Woody' action figure! Too cute." -- Leslie Elia
