Many of you emailed me to ask how my friend responded to the darling request to drive her ex husband’s and his girlfriend’s golf clubs to the airport for their trip.
Her daughter actually asked her- “Were you hurt by this, mom?” To which she responded “Much of what happens in life you can cry or laugh at. I chose to laugh at this.”
I am extremely impressed.
However, I am still pretty sure I would have worked hard to fit those clubs into a nice tight spot in with him.
Yesterday my first born turned 16 and while all boys and some girls on their 16th have only one thing on their mind – getting their driver’s licence – it didn’t even hit her radar.
My older brother was in charge of “teaching” me how to drive – for him this meant pushing his foot on top of mine on the gas pedal and flooring it- “Nance, you gotta know a car’s full power”. It was a wood panelled station wagon that seemed to go on for a block. Turbo.
He turned to the birthday girl and offered to teach her ” assuming you are like the rest of the women in our family and think R stands for Race?”

I saw this the other day and just loved it.
The world would be a different place with this mentality.
