Slow down and put down that finger!!!

We were driving home this evening and all of a sudden from behind us comes this car...now let me just tell you that I am a pretty fast driver so I was generously going the speed limit already. This car passed us as if we were standing still!

My daughter said Mommy, was that a race car? I wanted to say No dear that was a stupid person and stupid people apparently drive really fast! I didn't because in our house stupid is a bad word, but oh how I wanted to. Actually I wanted to use an even worse word it rhymes with some glass...you know the one, but I didn't want to have to wash my mouth out with soap. So, I refrained.

Why is it that people are so reckless with their driving? I mean come on... with the texting drivers and the angry drivers, and the older drivers and the distracted drivers and the stupid drivers it is a wonder anyone ever gets anywhere alive!! Throw in this guy that had to at least be doing 80 in a 40 and one little lol could send everyone to the hospital or worse. Just because fun bass wanted to see how fast his little kit car would go.

Part of what is wrong with this world today is that we are so concerned about our own happiness and success that we could care less about others and lifting their needs above our own. So what if the lady in front of you is driving a little slow it isn't her fault that you are running late next time get up with plenty of time to get there or just deal with the fact that you are late. Flipping her off only ruins her day and then she will be hateful to someone else and the circle just might even come back and slap you in the face later on in the day. Don't even start that crap!

Be kind. Be considerate. Be loving. It will do you a far better bit of good than being a some gas ever will. I promise. Have a great day!!
