Driving with a 5 year old in the car presents a challenge. BC, before child, if someone pulled out in front of me on an icy road, I would deal with my anxiety and need for a sense of control by categorizing him as a farm animal - verbally.
AC, after child, I have tried to curb my reaction, or at least adjust it. This morning, I declared while driving to preschool,
Dude, what are you doing? Don't do it. Don't do it. Stay there. That's it.
Kiddo asked me,
Mommy, why are you so foolish?
Years of practice. Let's pray. God, bless all the drivers on the road.
Amen.
