Brandon and I checked out a book at the library, and it is page after page of street signs. He got most of them right, and he learned some new ones. So now when we drive, he’s been looking out for signs that he can read. On the freeway, I was teaching him about the diamond lane. I told him it was the carpool lane. I asked him if he knows what the carpool lane is. He said, “If you get pulled over, you go over there.” Haha, I get it, “car-pull lane”. I did tell him what it is really used for. I showed him a speed limit sign, and we talked about going “35” versus “60” miles per hour, which was the fastest speed on testrack. I did have to get into a discussion about rate as it relates to distance over time, but the bottom line was that he got that 60 miles per hour was faster than 35 miles per hour. When we were talking about testrack, I told him he did fine on testrack. He corrected me and said, “I didn’t do fine when we were going 60 miles. But I did fine on the inside. Again, he is right. He was a mess when we went outside for the fast part of the ride, and was fine on the inside. Hopefully he isn’t scarred for life due to that ride.
