i always notice...

...that when i keep my mouth shut, it pleases my husband...but not after this particular incident.

i have always been a back seat driver. it's not that i don't trust my husband's driving skills. being an experienced driver, he sometimes thinks that he's a very careful driver and that "i have been doing these for years---never had any accidents, no violations at all." though he sometimes finds my being a back seat driver some sort of a reminder "to keep him awake," it irritates him as well when i exaggerate or over act.

ok, talking about this particular incident. we were leaving the parking lot of home depot one time and i told him to slow down a little. without looking at me, he said that if i cannot keep my mouth shut, i better drive the car. he was not mad but he was serious. i felt like a murder witness who was ordered by my lawyer not to say anything. i didn't want to drive so i "behaved." then he laughed when he saw me literally holding my upper and lower lips together, protruding them like donald duck's. all of a sudden, just a minute or two after getting out of the home depot premises, we saw a police mobile car behind us. there was no loud siren, no flashing lights but we're old enough to know that it was after us. i looked at my husband without saying a word and he safely pulled over. surprisingly, i did not say anything when the policeman approached us but i was forced to introduce myself as the "wife" as he looked at me calmly sitting on the passenger seat. we were stopped for making a rolling stop on a stop sign that leads to the main road. my husband explained that it was our first time to take that north bound exit and that he didn't notice the stop sign that he thought we just have to yield. in fairness to him, what he said was all true. we always take the southbound exit all the time except that day when we had to pick up oxygen tanks. i also didn't see the stop sign. we found out a lil later that the "stop sign" was collapsed by a very strong wind a few days earlier. we were thankful that the policeman was considerate enough not to give us ticket. he just reminded us to drive safely.

on our way home, i was having fun playing my new role. i was still in my "mute mode" until my husband broke the silence. he had his biggest smile while he was telling me how he misses my "wagging" tongue and that he could not wait till it "wags" again. and he said he was not kidding. i smilingly shook my head.

men are sometimes sooo difficult to comprehend.
