New Policy

I genuinely like the kids in our early morning seminary carpool.  They are good kids and funny and remarkably cheerful for that time of day.

Except now they all have learner's permits and suddenly everyone's a critic.

Adam (not Adam my husband, Adam my neighbor):  Um, you're driving with one hand.

Me:  Oh, sorry. (And I promptly and obediently put my hands at 2:00 and 10:00.)

Hans:  Actually, you're supposed to put them at 4:00 and 8:00.

Braeden:  Yeah, Mom.  2:00 and 10:00 is dangerous with an airbag.

Jared:  Was that a complete stop?

Adam:  No, I don't think it was.

So now we have a new policy in the car when I'm driving.

No talking.
