When my children were little we would be driving along and go over streps in the road ( you know the ones that keep you from falling asleep ) I would tell them that they were wake-up bumps. About 14 years later my 17 year old daughter and i were talking about them and she thought they were makeup bumps, she never could figure out why they were called that.
