Who’s the jackass now?

Recently, I was in a hurry to drop off one of the kids somewhere; it was also during rush-hour traffic, on surface streets around my neighborhood.

I was waiting at a stop sign to turn right into oncoming traffic; car after car cruised by.

When I had an opening to get into traffic, I sped in, but the person who was pacing up next in the lane to me took issue,

Switched lanes, sped around, and quickly pulled in front of me cutting me off. I hit the breaks, then I thought, I said,

Jackass.

But really, I know I was the one who had caused the transgression. In my rush I’d sped into traffic when actually should have waited,

And probably departed to take my kid to class five minutes early,

Little life lesson reminder,

GOOD.
