I was being a good mom driving my youngest daughter's friend, who lives way down in The Globe , home when I came across a blaze of yellow on the side of the road. I stopped my Jeep, grabbed my camera and I heard Youngest daughter suck in a bit of air and wearily say to her friend, " My mom's gonna stop and take a few photos."
I was thrown back 30 or so years in time to the days when my siblings and I would grimace and poke each other in the backseat of the car whenever we saw a 'garage sale' sign for fear my mother would see notice it and stop to 'just take a look.' If my dad was driving the car, he became our partner in crime and would speed up the vehicle or help distract mom with the clever 'Look Honey' diversionary tactic while pointing in the opposite direction. It worked almost every time.
My children need to be shown a few tricks.....
