Six Eyes on the Road is Better than Two, I Suppose

Quiz time! You're driving down the street and suddenly someone in the car yells, "STOP!" Do you:

1. Stop! The voices tell you what to do!
2. Cautiously proceed while thinking about all of the ways you're probably about to die.
3. Speed up because ain't no voices going to tell you what to do.
4. Does it really matter? THERE ARE NO WINNERS IN THIS GAME.

The correct answer, of course, is #4. It seems obvious in retrospect, but I only figured out that was the correct answer after trying the first three options. They didn't really work out, you see.

Oh, I should probably mention that Mila figured out how traffic lights work. She's now very convinced that I need a little lesson because maybe I don't understand that green means go and red means stop. Just in case I am that oblivious, she keeps telling me.

"STOP!"

"GO!"

"STOP!"

"STOP!"

By the way, she understands that green means go and red means stop, but she doesn't understand which light belongs to which people. So, she might be yelling "STOP!" because the traffic light 1/2 mile away and headed in the opposite direction turned red. She might also be referring to the traffic light that is ten feet ahead of us. There's no way to be sure until it's too late to be sure.

To summarize, Mila is now in charge of traffic lights. Which, that's just great because I still have Alexis who has never stopped being in charge of the speed limit. Between the two of them, I have the best back seat drivers a person could ask for.

I hope she figures it out before she starts driving. Which she will someday.

OMG.
