Give her a chance

I should remember this, but I sometimes forget. Little ears are listening... ALWAYS!

Last night we were out to dinner with the grandkids. All the adults were chattering away and the topic of Abby's driving came up. If you don't know, Abby has her learners permit and is currently training as a young, inexperienced driver. To be honest, Tami and I both feel like covering our eyes when she drives. It's just difficult not being in control of a potential rolling death trap. Anyway, we were discussing Abby's progress and our sometimes unwillingness to let her drive when the following exchange occurred out of nowhere. We had no idea Sveta was listening so intently.

Sveta: Hey! Give Abby a chance. She needs practice on the road.

Me: I know, Sveta, but's sometimes it's scary to ride with Abby.

Sveta: Give her a chance.

Me: Sveta, would you ride with your Aunt Abby?

Sveta: (emphatically) NO!

Hahaha! Kids are so FUNNY! And smart too... even Sveta is smart enough not to climb into the passenger seat when Abby is behind the wheel.
