Backseat Driver

"Where are you, do not enter sign?" a sweet little voice peeped from the backseat on our drive home last night. In addition to hearing him search for his favorite signs, on our 30 minute drive home last night I think we also received instructions from John Harrison at least 75 plus times such as (just to name a few): "obey stop sign, Daddy," "Be careful, Mommy" (I wasn't even driving), "Be careful, Daddy," "Obey do not enter sign, Daddy." For some reason, John Harrison has developed a recent fascination with road signs. I think it began with him learning the names of the road signs that came with his train set. It has morphed into him informing us what each road sign is (often with instructions to obey). He also recently overheard one of us saying "be careful" so John Harrison now will give nearly continual instructions to the front driver and passenger to "be careful!" even when there is no impending danger. Maybe it is disconcerting sitting in the back seat and watching cars pass by going the opposite way...who knows.
