My family recently took a young friend of ours from church (he's eight) on a day trip with us, and I went that morning to pick him up. We were a little behind schedule, so I was making up what I could on the road. Here's what followed:
"You have a lead foot like mom. That's good."
"Really? How fast does your mom drive?"
"Pretty fast."
"How fast on, say, the freeway by the church?"
"Oh, probably seventy-eight."
"And how about on an interstate like this one?"
"I think eighty-five or ninety."
"Wow. Your mom is a fast driver."
"Yeah, but that's nothing. Guess how fast she drove when we were coming back from Virginia?"
"How fast?"
"A hundred!"
"And she never gets pulled over?"
"Nah. I guess there weren't any police there. But that was in Virginia. I'd want to live there."
"Why's that?"
"Well, there's police everywhere, but they won't stop you even if you have a gun hanging out the window."
