Winter Driving

It snowed early this year. Then it rained. Then that froze. Then in snowed again. Not unexpected around here at all, but the roads are pretty crummy.
Driving home from daycare was rough yesterday. We were also in a rush to get home, eat, change, and go to dance class.
E: Mom? I want to ask you a question.
M: OK. What is it?
E: I'm doing a really, really good job being patient.
M: Yes, you are.
(Not really a question, but it's true. She's just sitting there quietly)
E: You're not. Remember you said we all need to share the road and take turns, Mom? It doesn't help when you tell people to "come on" and talk sassy to them. You just need to wait patiently until it's your turn.

Ouch.
