The other day I found myself explaining the rules of the road to a four year-old.
Well I'm allowed to turn right on a red because there are no cars coming and uh...well...because the policemen said it was O.K.
I can still go when the light is yellow. Sometimes yellow means slow down, sometimes it means I can keep going before the light turns red. (yeah yeah yeah....save it)
And then I give up. She's four. Simplifying traffic laws is surprisingly difficult.
But let me back track. The only reason I'm doing such a thing is because I'm chided, scolded, reprimanded if I don't go ONLY when the light is green.
Mommy, you have to wait until the light is GREEN!! Oooooh. Okay. Gotcha. What would I do without her? :)
In other news....
See the blades? They just ain't turnin'
Our management company is on top of things but first they have to send out a few different companies to gather estimates....over the next few days. Uh ok, we'll just be waiting here in the interim.....melting.

Yikes! Sorry about the air conditioner. No fun :( Love the picture of diva in the backseat.
I've tried to explain traffic laws also. Nicholas accuses me of speeding whenever I accelerate. Even if it's from 25 to 35 mph. SHEESH!
Sounds familiar. In the CRV, Tucker could see the speedometer, so if he saw the speed limit posted and saw that I wasn't going EXACTLY 40 mph, I'd be in for it. I also was just explaining to him the other day about what police officers did to you when they pull you over.
Sorry about the air. Yuck.
