you might want to get all your driving in now, because it's only three more years until he gets his license

There is some utility work being done on the street we take to get to Ryan's school. They have been working on it for the past couple of afternoons and then they cover up the holes with those giant sheets of metal when they aren't working on it. This conversation occurred after I drove over the metal.

Um, I don't think you were supposed to drive over that.

Well, where was I supposed to drive?

Uh, in the other lane?! (eyeroll)

Oh, you mean into the oncoming traffic? I'm pretty sure that would have resulted in our death.

(eyeroll) I'm just saying that there were some construction workers and cones at the side of the road and I don't think you were supposed to drive there.

Well, I think if I wasn't supposed to drive there, those cones at the side of the road would be blocking my way and not off to the side of the road. But I guess I'll take your word for it because you're thirteen and I've only been driving for, what, 2o years now?

(eyeroll) Whatever. I'm just saying.
