You know that old quote "Experience is the greatest teacher??" Well, I had that quote cross my mind the other day while driving down the road. It was kinda funny, but it reminded me how true that little quote is.
Actually it was the event that happened while I was driving down the road that caused me to think of it. As I was driving along with my thoughts a million miles away, I heard this awful wailing and screeching begin from the back seat along with the yelling, "My finger's STUCK!" I quickly jerked around to see what the problem was. I turned to see Addison with her finger stuck down the straw hole of a Chick-Fil-A cup lid......where the pointed triangles come together.......you know how they are. On top of that, the straw was still in it's place.
As she continues to wail, I talk her through the solution as I continue to drive. First remove the straw and then quickly pull the finger out. So, she does it and our mission is accomplished.
When she finally frees her finger and stops wailing, I scolded her a little by saying, "Do NOT do that again!" After I said it, I actually chuckled at what I just said.....because the truth is, I really don't think it's a problem any more. Experience was definitely a wonderful teacher!
