Somebody's Compensating

Driving home from work, The Boy and I spotted a Smart Car. The Boy doesn't like Smart Cars. He calls them Dumb Cars.

To be fair, he thought they were Ok Cars when we lived in the U.K. But here in Texas traffic with Texas trucks, Smart Cars really are Suicide Cars.



As I started to pass, The Boy said, Hey, look. It's a Dumb Car.

We glanced at the Dumb Car as I continued on around (Sidebar: Does everyone look over at the driver of the other car when passing? I know I do...).

To our surprise, the driver of the Dumb Car had a stack of papers in her left hand and was busy reading.

No wonder she was going slow enough for me to pass!

The Boy said, Hey, look. It's a Dumb Car with a Dumb Driver. Someone's compensating!

The thought of this:


Being compared in any way to this:


Just cracked me up.

  2. I'm not sure! She certainly wasn't on a handheld phone (which is still legal here, except in school zones). But I'm not sure if she was on the phone at all.

    Wouldn't be surprised if she *doesn't* though!
