Good Advice

Yesterday morning (Saturday) I was reading Wednesday's newspaper while Matt was having his alloted Saturday computer time. Anika was sleeping in after a busy week and Lloyd had already been up and out before 6 am to go on a Boy's Brigade camp. We were waiting for Hubby and Mike to return from the early morning swimming lesson before having breakfast and getting going on a long list of jobs.

I was reading the front page which had a photo of a young man who'd just left court after having his driver's licence suspended for the second or third time for drink driving. He had his car keys in his hand and apparently drove home after the court appearance. The article stated how this appalling behaviour was happening all the time now and that the government had finally decided to get tough with these guys (hmm..I'll believe it when I see it). I've known far too many people who have died in car accidents which were not their fault.

Matt was playing a driving game on the computer and suddenly noticed the morning cup of milk I had placed there for him. He called out, "Mummy, please put this milk in the fridge for later. I can't drink and drive."

Good thinking, I wish everyone thought the same.
