Scared Ya, Didn't I?

It isn't very often that I get an upper hand around here.  But today I did.  And it was thanks, in part, to a technique I learned from my dad as a girl.

The Boy and I were running errands in the neighboring town, and o the way home we were going to pass our favorite burger joint.  Slowly and steadily I drifted the car to the right side of the lane, all the while telling him that the car's steering is defective, with increasing franticness, as such:  "I can't get the car to go straight! It's drifting to the edge!  Oh NO!!  We're being sucked into the JCW's parking lot!"  It so worked.

I stopped to get us each a hot fudge shake. 

Maybe it was the almost-a-driver-observations he has been making lately, but he was sincerely worried, then scared then panicked!

Awesome.  I giggled all thew ay home while he grimaced and ate his shake.
