Do you know one?



I happen to know three.



I call them Mom, Dad and Brother.



It's Fiesta time here in San Antonio. That means downtown road closures and traffic from hell.



I was dropping my brother off at NIOSA and the whole time My mom and bro were "suggesting" which lane to be in and my dad was stomping on an imaginary brake pedal.



:-5 :-5 :-5 :-5

I drive the hubby nuts hitting the door. I think it's my imaginary brake.

:wah:



I don't do that. I do tense up and rake my fingernails over the door panel/smack the window/suck in my breath/grab the armrest if somebody gets stupid. But I never say a thing. Imaginary brake pedal. That's pretty funny Fib.

I brake for hubby with my imaginary brake pedal when I think he's left it late to brake. I used to warn him of things (only occasionally) but he didn't take kindly to it, though he moans now if I don't - can't win.



Most of the time though I refuse to drive him anywhere - he is a horrible passenger. He has even got me to the point where I pulled the car over, got my handbag and walked away from the car, three kids in the back cringing. We were in Australia at the time and I knew where the town centre was so I planned to walk back there and get a taxi back to where we were staying. Eventually he got in the driver's seat and picked me up but no way was I driving him anywhere that day!

My husband tries to give me advice when in the car, but since he can't drive anymore, it's his only fun thing to do. I just pretend I can't hear him..............:wah:

My middle son does that!! Tells me to go...he is 12 years OLD!! It is a bad habbit for him.

My oldest son just got his license a year ago...and I'm so thankful that I don't ever HAVE to get in the car with him again...I know that sounds horrible, but OMG...I wore a whole in the passenger side floor board....He would laugh it off and say.... "ummm, Mom your brake pedal is broken"....:-5 :-5 The other one is when we would be getting onto or off the interstate on TWO instead of FOUR wheels...I had to inform him that ummm, I like to ride on all four at the same time....all the TIME!!

I have some fun comic strips that my mom gave me during the time my son was learning to drive....need to post them for ya'll!!:)
