…Sorry! She also gets on my case if I don\u2019t keep both hands on the wheel. If I take my hands off it while we\u2019re stopped at a light, she\u2019ll say:<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, this is how you hold the steering wheel! Like this! It\u2019s dangerous!\u201d<\/p>\n
And she\u2019ll demonstrate by gripping an imaginary wheel with both hands. …Sorry!<\/p>\n
And heaven forbid I start driving before fastening her seat belt:<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, you\u2019re not wearing your seat belt! The police officer will tell you off! \u03a3\u30fd(\uff40\u0434\u00b4\uff1b)\uff89 \u201d<\/p>\n
…Yes, I\u2019m sorry.<\/p>\n
A Safer Drive, No Question<\/h3>\n
She has plenty of other instructions, too:<\/p>\n
\u30fbPut your drink in this cup holder. (Even my drink has to go in the cup holder in front of the passenger seat.)<\/span>
\n\u30fbLower the sun visor if the evening sun is too bright.
\n\u30fbIf her little sister is crying in the back, pull over and check on her.<\/p>\nHonestly, she can be a bit much (laughs). But she really is a stickler for doing things properly, so I\u2019m sure watching her easygoing mom must drive her crazy.<\/p>\n
Still, with a three-year-old riding beside me, I have no choice but to drive safely. These days, I\u2019m starting to think that\u2019s not such a bad thing.<\/p>\n
