Simon said...on vacation

I very generously offered to take over the wheel for a little bit while Simon enjoyed some shut eye on our venture from Kansas to Pennsylvania recently. Please keep in mind that I don't claim to be the most amazing driver and I am still getting used to driving our family friendly vehicle. As soon as I turned the key in the ignition and made seat adjustments to accommodate my planet of a stomach...the comments regarding the alleged herky jerky driving began:

1. (in reference to my hand/steering wheel placement) "What is that? 11 and 1? ha."


2. "You think I've been sleeping...but I really just prayed 14 rosaries."


3. "Ok...ok..just calm down!!!" (I was driving a mere 8 MPH in a residential area and not talking...I think this comment was more aimed at the GPS)

and so...as a golden token of my appreciation for his kind words, I let Simon drive the remaining ~30 hours of the way.
