Straighten up girl now, you’re doing just fine Current mood: thankful
Car rides when I was a kid went a little like this…
My mom driving, white knuckling the steering wheel, my dad in the passenger seat flipping through magazines and me, in the back seat, kind of oblivious of everything, possibly reading a book, staring at the sun until it turned into a big sweettart in the sky or just carrying on a conversation with my best bud, Snoopy. When the folks wanted to talk about things, like where should we go to dinner or how early should I go to bed basically stuff they didn't want me to know about or have any say so in, they would crank the radio up and drown out whatever was said. There I was, clueless, just along for the ride and having absolutely no say so whatsoever on what was going on.
I've been kinda getting that backseat, along for the ride sort of feeling lately… not really sure what's going on but feeling the consequences anyway.
For the second time in as many weeks I've been involved in some friend of a friend agitation. I'm not really sure what happened, what was talked about or where things go from here but I was the central part of the conversation. I'm really annoyed.
The thing is I'm old enough to drive myself, I don't have to play the part of a the little naïve, thumb sucking brat anymore and I'd like to get my two cents in on dinner (steak, medium rare please!!!). So lemme get behind the wheel, I know my way around. Believe me when I say I don't know where I want to end up but I've made enough wrong turns in my life already so I sure as hell know where I don't want to go.
