Dear Squishy,
Who taught you how to be a backseat driver?
FYI, if the light is red I cannot “GO GO GO MAMA… GO FAST!!”
Don’t look at me like that, I make the rules here!
You crack me up with your sassy little backseat driving commands.
I am crazy thankful that you don’t drive for another 12.5 years!
Xoxxo,
Mama

HA! My son is the same way!! On Tuesday morning we were stopped at a red light, from the backseat I hear “Go Mommy! Our light green.” and a toot of his train whistle. (He had A talking Spencer from Thomas & friends with us!)
It was hysterical, but adds so much pressure while I’m driving!!
Emily says
Oh man – a train whistle! Now that is pressure!
robin says
So funny! Wait until he gets a rudimentary grasp of road rules and starts criticizing you for not coming to a full stop or turning left in green (no arrow).
Emily says
Great… that will be fun. Maybe that was the other reason they say you should keep kids out of the front seat until they are a certain age. ๐
Vanessa says
that’s too funny. I remember those days!
Emily says
You have a driver now though huh? I think I prefer this ๐
Hanan says
My kid does the exact same thing, and it drives me crazy!!
Ashley @ Mama of All Trades says
I have started turning up the music real loud when Bunny starts in on me for stopping at red lights, lol. The worst is when we’re in traffic on the highway and she keeps yelling at me “Highways are for fast cars, mommy. GO FAST!” Toddler road rage!
Emily says
Toddler road rage! LOL
michelle says
ha ha I love that they think they are helping us.”mama, that lady is texting”, “Mommy, did you see that BIG pothole?!”, “Mommy, why is that man honking at us?”
I must say that having two kids in the car makes me a MUCH better driver ๐
Emily says
Oh, so it just gets more fun then huh? ๐
Kerri says
Do all kids do this? But, then again, I remember doing it to my parents when I was younger. – lol
Emily says
I don’t remember doing it – but hey, I actually still think it is cute!
Danielle says
Oh my! That is adorable ๐
Melissa says
So funny! Hayden is always telling me which way to go!
Emily says
