Sillly thought/Grandma's scent

Every day, I drive to pick my daughter up from school, and wait in the car line of other parents. I usually throw my car into park, and do my favorite pastime: people watch (not in the stalker kind of way) just observing other ppl in one activity of their day too.

 

Today, I saw, and see many times... (and guilty of)....this one parent was trying to backout of a tight parking lot, she was creeping very slow not to hit another car, but alas, here comes the handy pedestrian stranger, who acts as parking lot director and motions her to inch back a little bit more. Why do we trust these strangers, that we will not hit another car??? oH, maybe you guys don't???

 

Today I was imagining-then started to laugh-if one day, someone kept motioning to back up a little bit more, until it bumped another car. That would be so funny!!!! I can't imagine shock and horrified look of the trusting driver.

 

Thinking of driving.. my ADD brain is going another direction. I am driving my late Grandma's car. I love it, but after I adjusted the height of the seat belt, I have been catching a whiff of her smell. The last time I smelled her, I was giving her a hug on her 90th birthday. There is a certain spot on her seatbelt that must have captured her perfume, because I smell Grandma on it. It's a bitter sweet extra that came with the car :big_grin:
