5. What's for lunch (at 9 o'clock in the morning).
4. You're going too fast - wait for me!
3. This has got to be more than ____ miles.
2. Come on people (waving us to cross the street).
1. Are we there yet?
Honorable Mentions:
Look how lucky we were with the weather (if it started to rain/snow/sleet right when we finished).

I'm not talking to you.
