Just an example...

So here is slice of a recent conversation (negotiation) in the van:

K: You get in the back and change into your swimsuit. I'll get the keys... wait...where ARE the keys?
J: I can't change into my swimsuit because the drapes are open (starts the process of closing the drapes)
K: Hang ON! The tea towels are in hanging in the way (moving the tea towels to the front seat). Where are the keys?
J: In the front seat.
K: (sigh) All of our bedding is in the front seat.
J: They're under there. Somewhere.
K: (moving the bedding into the back) And where is the knapsack?
J: It's under the bedding - you just covered it.
K: You need to open the vents. It's hot in here.
J: I CAN'T open the vent. You're standing in the way.
K: The keys aren't up here. But I did find my wallet!
J: That man over there can see me changing. Close the drapes!
K: I've lost the knapsack.
J: It's under the bedding.
K: (moving the bedding to the front) Now I need my sunglasses.
J: I swear that guy can SEE me changing. You're glasses are in the front with the keys. Do you have a towel?
K: Where are the towels?
J: Under the bedding.
K: (moving the bedding back into the back) There are no towels here.
J: Oh. Whoops. They are outside on the line.
K: O.K. I just found the keys.
J: Something smells funny in here. Did you turn off the butane?
K: Yes. The butane is off. Now where is MY bathing suit?
J: Out on the line.
K: We should take the camera.
J: I don't KNOW where that is. It WAS in the knapsack but you moved it into the sink with the water and the bowl of fruit.
K: Maybe we don't need the camera...
