We were about halfway to Heidi's school this morning when her phone chimed with a text message. "It's G!" she said, surprised.
The Jeep was in the shop, so we were temporarily a one-car household, and after hearing the horror stories about her commute, this was the first time I'd actually experienced it myself. The traffic and congestion on the four-mile route were indeed aggravating.
I was right next to ya'll on the hill, the text read. It sure was a nice way to start the day.
"I didn't even see him," I said, shaking my head.
"He saw you," Heidi laughed. "He says you were very focused with your hands right at ten and two."
I shrugged. "I was annoyed by the traffic," I replied, "so I'm kind of glad I didn't do anything asshole-ish. I guess it's a good reminder that everyone in the other cars is just somebody's friend, and they're all trying to get where they're going just like you."
