For anyone who has ever driven me somewhere (and those who haven't yet, but will - I apologize in advance!) I know what you all are thinking, anything I write here will be like the pot calling the kettle black...but seriously...Will is a back seat driver!
Whether it's:
"Mommy, the light is red, STOP!"
Or:
"Mommy, green means GO, let's GO!"
Or even:
"Yellow light means slow down, slow down!"
...Will is always trying to control my driving. The other day he told me I was going to fast and if I didn't slow down, I would get a ticket...to which I responded, thinking I could pull one over on him, "Will, this is The Woodlands, we (The Woodlands) aren't incorporated, we don't have organized law enforcement". His response (still don't know who told him what 'law enforcement' meant) was, "Mommy, there could be a trooper, a sherriff, a cop car, and they will pull you over and put you in jail!"
So, I've decided to channel my frustrations with him being a back seat driver by trying to play tricks on him...sometimes my tricks work sometimes they don't....for example:
ME: "Will, look at that purple triangle, that means GO!"
WP: "No Mommy, that is a STOP sign, see, it says (picture him pointing to each letter as he spells) S.T.O.P, stop"
ME: "Well, at least I got it partly right Will, it is a purple triangle."
WP: "No it isn't Mommy, it is a red octagon, you should go to school!"
