The prespective of a 4 year old!

Chloe & I ventured to the library for the first time today.  Not sure why I've waited so long to do it, but we clearly enjoyed ourselves and have already planned on adding it to our weekly routine.  So, on the way there we were driving on a 4 lane "farm to market" road.  Yes, if you've forgotten we live out in the COUNTRY!   Anyway, we were beside another SUV and before I knew it the woman driving the other car (who was on her cell phone) had drifted completely into my lane.  Frantically I searched for the horn and stepped on the brakes.  She just nearly missed us.  I was panicking...not so much for my own safety, but Chloe's car seat is directly behind mine and she was in harms way as well.  My protective "mother bear" guard was up.  Lost in the moment I couldn't quite make out what Chloe was chattering in the background at first.  So I said, "What was that Chloe?" and she replied, "What are you communicating Momma?" "HUH?!?"  was my first and only response.  She then went on to tell me that, "In preschool I learned that people use the horns on their cars to communicate.  What were you telling that other car Momma?"  (As she said this I happened to pass the other driver who showed me a not-so-nice hand gesture.  Keep in mind people SHE came into MY lane.)  I was in shock and remember complaining does no good...(see previous post!)...so I just said, "I was just telling her to watch out."  Little does my sweet baby know people also use their hands to "communicate" too. Ha!  As fate (rather God) would have it, both the other lady and I ended up at the library for storytime.  I refrained from making the evil-eye contact with her, not something I would have guaranteed I could/would have done prior to my fast, and managed a polite smile.  So thankful I handled that situation with a better attitude and didn't regress to vindicate myself to the other mother.  But mostly I'm thankful for the prespective of my precious 4 year old who made me laugh when I could have screamed!  Thank you Jesus for giving us grace & laughter when you know we'll need it!
