Little Blog vs Bad Drivers
Little Blog is sitting in the back of Dad’s car, on the way to gym. Sunshine, her big sister, is with Mom, so Little Blog gets in all the running commentary she can.
First she describes the inside of the car, and asks for an explanation of almost every feature, from the air bags to the air conditioner.
Next, she turns her attention to other cars on the road. She describes each car as it passes in the next lane. One car comes speeding up from behind, zips into the next lane, and zooms into the lane in front of Dad, barely missing his front bumper.
“Idiot!” shouts Dad.
“Why is he an idiot, Daddy?” asks Little Blog.
“Because he could have gone into our car, Little Blog.”
Little Blog: “If he goes into another car, will it break the other car?”
Dad: “Yes, Little Blog.”
Little Blog: “That’s dangerous!”
Dad: “It sure is, Little Blog.”
Little Blog: “And it’s dangerous for children to sit in the front.”
Dad: “Why, Little Blog?”
Little Blog: “Because of what will happen if another car breaks your car.”
Dad: “What will happen, Little Blog?”
Little Blog: “The beanbag will come out and squash the child.”
