Me, too.

I have noticed many of these tailgaters are teenagers. Now, I love teenagers and actually have two in captivity myself, but I DO fear their driving-around skills. They are very casual about the laws of physics and probability. Very casual. They, the inmates, claim my fault lies in my handicap of MotherNess. In the spirit of Mom-ness I have done two things which I swore-to myself-never to do: #1) I've actually said these words: "your music sounds all the same!" AND #2) stomped on the imaginary brake on the passengers side of the car as my gorgeous 16 year-old passed a semi on a country road and nearly wiped us both off the face of the planet. I wouldn't have cared for my own life, being as how I've cheated death lo these many years, but I did care about my son.

What to do?
