In Heavy Traffic Friday Afternoon
Driving home during the 5 o’clock rush drives me crazy. I’m definitely known for dropping the F-bomb because I’m very impatient with the slowpokes in front of me, or those people who pass me and then move into my lane only to drive at a pace just under the speed limit.
What the hell is wrong with these people?
And the left turns? I get so angry with left turns. I’d drive in the right lane, but all the cautious (read: slow) drivers are in that one.
And so, when the speed demon in the red Mustang passed me, moved into my lane and then proceeded to turn left?
I blew my freakin’ stack.
I had Dawson in the car, so I made the conscious effort not to swear.
“Stupid jerk!” I yelled.
“Fuck dem cars!” I heard from the back seat.
My mouth dropped open.
Apparently I have said the F-word in the car with Dawson with me.
I’m a bad influence.
But I laughed. I was shocked, and yet I laughed.
What else was I going to do? Scold the little boy for something he heard from his Mama (I can’t even remember when I said that)?
“That’s right, honey! What you said!” I replied.

Yeah, I taught Julia to say Dammit and Jerk. I’m not really proud of that, but at least she uses them in the right context when she repeats them. You’ve got to give them kids some points for mastering the language.

I’m kind of mortified. I hope he never says that in front of Grandma!!

As soon as Ben becomes more verbal, I’m probably going to be in trouble. That being said, I giggled like a maniac at Dawson’s road rage.
