That made me giggle remembering the one most common thing our parents would say when it came to having patience. More of a conundrum line of thinking on their behalf though. That was every time we'd take a trip up north when asked how much longer they'd reply "it's just over the top of those trees". Always worked well as you could always see the end of the trees down the road, at least as a child, the reality though as an adult is relative to asking your kids to look for a light at the end of a tunnel.
