Mom: (handing a book over to my aunt) This is a great book, I definitely recommend it. I finished reading it on the way over here.
(My aunt and I look at my mom.)
Me: What do you mean, you finished reading it on the way over here?
Mom: You know, at red lights.
Me: You READ at red lights?
Mom: Yeah. What, you don't?
Me: NO.
Mom: Then what do you do at red lights?
Me: I WAIT FOR THEM TO TURN GREEN.
Aunt (to my mom) : How do you know when the light turns green?
Mom: When all the other cars start moving-
Me: Or when the honking starts behind you -
Mom: Seriously? You just wait at a red light? But it's so long.
Me: It's like a minute and a half, mom.
Mom: But that's so LONG.
Me: Well, I definitely don't read. Mom? You really read at red lights?
Mom: Well, sometimes I do Sudoku.

LOL!!! I love reading, SERIOUSLY LOVE IT! and I like Sudoku a HUGE amount...and I dislike red lights, especially because sometimes, or most of the time, red lights= cars stops{I hope right?} , which then in turns = crying baby...so for WAY more then one reason, I just could not do either at a red light :)
LMAO!!! Your Mom is a riot!!! XOXO
Oh...and Ellie is very familiar with CrewCuts already. I am definitely in trouble. You should see her shoe/handbag collection. LOL!!
haha i love this. it reminds me of my brother and me--bathroom, eating, getting ready to go out..we read everywhere. lol. a minute and a half IS too long! : )
WOW. Just WOW.
And may I say, I'm not entirely surprised?
I text *sheepish shrug* and sometime the lights are much longer than a minute and a half....like two!
ooooof!!! i must admit that i keep a pair of sharp scissors in the car so that i can trim my split ends in traffic.
i appreciate your concern. but i have weighed the consequences, and i am reasonably careful. i have also explained the practice to my hairdresser and my little sister so that they know what really happened if i am ever found in my car with a small but bloody stab-wound in my chest. :)
Haha that's hilarious. I'm with you on waiting for the green light. :P I've always got my music on in the car so be it a minute or whatever, time flieees. I'm only a multi-tasker off the road.
Hehehehe, funny stuff! I think during red lights, my Mom probably just forgets where she's going...
