Stop, A head!
We were driving through the city, stuck trawling through traffic and she spots a centre for learning sign language, only opened recently by the looks of it. "I never knew that was there" she says. I said "I know. Not many people have heard about its opening". She was not impressed.
There was a sign that said "no pedestrian traffic allowed" and I read it out loud when we passed, to which my dad replied "but are pedestrians a-quiet?" Needless to say, I rolled my eyes and he laughed.
I was about twelve years old and driving somewhere with my Dad (Doc). It was one of my first times in the front seat. Suddenly, my Dad shoots out his big hand and grabs the top of my head. He holds my head like that for a few moments and then lets go.
After a few moments I ask him, "Why did you do that?"
"Just obeying the traffic laws," he replied.
Even at twelve I thought that was a bit questionable. "What do you mean?" I asked.
"Didn't you see the sign? It said 'Stop Ahead'."
