When my son was six or eight years old, he was sitting in the backseat of the car. I was driving. I was pulling out of a parking lot and I hit the gas too hard, which spun the rear wheels. My wife scolded me for my shenanigans as a bad example in front of the kids.
My son, in his infinite youthful wisdom said “Hey Mom! It’s a lot more fun if you put your hands in the air and say Wheee!”

When DD#1 was about 4-5, I hit a stretch of black ice in my old Supra. After a code-brown tankslapper I brought it to rest backwards in a luckily-placed parking lot. As I was sitting there trying to remember how to breathe, she piped up from her car seat in back:
"Was that fun?"
"What are you doing? Why are you doing it? I hate you all"
Said, multiple times, while I was navigating Tampa traffic today.
In reply to Duke :
My sister was once driving in the winter to take her two daughters to the library, hit an icy spot with her Bonneville and looped it backwards into a ditch. The car came to a stop and her one daughter goes "Why'd we stop, mom?" and the other goes "Yeah, what happened?"

Sitting with my 4 year old daughter on her first commercial flight. We are just starting the push back from the gate when she asks me. "Daddy is this airplane going to go upside down"? The guy across the aisle from us, who did not look very comfortable flying, loses all color in his face as he turns to look at us. I told her no and then explained to the guy that I'm a pilot that does a little aerobatics. He still looked nervous as he looked at the 4 year old that was perfectly comfortable on the plane thinking she was going to get to go upside down.

That sounds more like the comical narration for when your car stops moving under its own power.
"It was jerky and daddy said bad words" - My then 7 year old daughter having elected to do another lap of the Nurburgring. The whole family did the first sighting lap, mom and sister jumped out and an experienced Ring-dog got in to call corners for me.

Motivational quote I think of every time I have a job to do that looks like it's gonna suck. Don't just stand there looking at it, just get it done and over with already.
