When your Daddy and I were dating I tried to tell him about Safety Grandpa. But he had to learn the hard way. Like when he first traveled in the car with Grandpa. And didn't immediately fasten his seat belt. Grandpa refused to start the car. He just sat there waiting. And Daddy just sat there waiting for the car to start. Still not buckling his safety belt. He had to be told. By Grandpa.
Today, after dance class, you girls were waiting in the car with me. The car was parked in front of a restaurant and we were waiting for our name to be called. I unbuckled your car seat harnesses and, Em, you climbed over and into the driver's seat immediately.
Before you tried to play with anything on the dashboard or the steering wheel, you reached for the seat belt.
