He and his brothers drove with their left hand out the window to look cool, especially on curves. He will automatically assume this position on curves now going over mountain passes in traffic until I remind him to have 2 hands on the wheel please this is not 1968!Haraleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263065017109894464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723327840869334395.post-87675111667851671562017-11-28T11:19:49.349-07:002017-11-28T11:19:49.349-07:00Adults have two purposes: to show us what to do, a...Adults have two purposes: to show us what to do, and to show us what not to do.
