Sadie thinks she can drive. She’s two. It is simultaneously annoying and like everything else she does, hilarious and precious.
Me: *Stops at yellow light.* (Because my kids are in the car so I don’t floor it. Aubrey told me once, “Green means go. Red means stop and yellow means stop, too. If you’re a boy. But yellow means go if you’re a girl.” Oopsie.)
Sadie: GOOOO! Momma! Go!
Me: We can’t go, the light is red.
Sadie: Okay, Mom.
Me: *Stops in the middle of the road, hits blinker and waits to turn across traffic.*
Sadie: GOOOOOO! MOMMA! GOOOOO!
Me: Do you want me to total my car?? I can’t GOOOOOOO.
Sadie: Okay, Mom.
Me: *Stops in traffic to avoid rear-ending the car in front of me.*
Sadie: (at full volume) GOOOOOOOOO! MOMMA! GOOOOOO!
Me: You are TWO, you don’t know how to drive. Be quiet and watch Elmo.
Sadie: Okay, Mom.
She is bossy. And impatient.
(No, I have no idea from whence this behavior came.)
Got any funny car stories about your kids?
Molly is barely one, and she can get out of her carseat??!
I just love when they tell me that Mom the light is red why are you making a turn on a red light you are supposed to stop!!! Then you have to explain to them why you are doing it!!! But then again I have a 5 yr old that drives her power wheels mustang like she is at a race track like her daddy told her to!
My Anna (also 2) tells me to Go to when we are stopped. Noah would tell me to "Show down, Mommy, Show down!" (slow down). At last check, upon riding with me, Noah said, "Daddy not dwive wike you. Daddy dwive too slow!"
I don't know if you remember a Facebook post of mine from about a year ago? Well, one day the girls were bickering, again, about what movie was playing in the car DVD.. I just couldn't take it ANYMORE!! I ejected that disk, rolled the window down and threw that baby out Like I was in a long distance frisbee throwing contest!! Needless to say the fighting stopped!! To this day if I hear them fighting over a movie.. All it takes is a subtle gesture towards the eject button!! SILENCE!!!
#1 When Davis was 2 he would say that green means go, red means stop, and yellow means HURRY UP! Oops!
#2 Branson asked me to drive faster through our neighborhood. I explained that we could not do that because it was against the law and thus sinful. Two days later we were in the car and late for school, again, and Branson asked, "Mama, are you being sinful?" Double Oops!
@Crystal, Sadie has started unbuckling her chest trap and it totally freaks me out!!
These are hilarious stories, girls! I love it!
@Gena I remember when Davis told you that and @Murph I'm probably going to use that little technique of yours one day!
Just this one. They really do call you out on everything, don't they?!? Geez.
