STRAPPED

She's too smart.

Yesterday, we took granddaughter Chloe, who's almost 3, to the boardwalk to go on a few rides.



All the way there she kept trying to wiggle out of her car seat and succeeded at least once. I had to keep unbuckling my seat belt to turn around and lean over the front seat to strap her in tighter.

All the activity caused Poppie's (I'm getting mad) blood pressure to rise.

On the rides, Chloe soon learned the importance of seat belts as she glued herself to my armpit when we went on the kiddie roller coaster.

When we got back in the car to go home, I wondered if I had traumatized her for life because she didn't put up a fuss about the seat belt like she usually does.

Poppie wasn't taking any chances this time, though. He made me sit in the back.
