Context? CCCVII

A memory from my one semester at a Catholic grade school: I rode with two neighbor students to school one morning.  One of their sisters, who was driving, asked, "Does this carpool like to hear music?"  She was about to turn on the radio when two of her brothers protested vehemently, saying, "No, please, no!"  

I wouldn't have minded hearing some music, but I understood why she left the radio off.  When one or more passengers act as though they'd rather snack on live cicadas than listen to music in the car, it's probably best not to play it and keep the peace.
