I was driving to work this morning, and I remembered a funny Emily story…
About a year ago, or maybe two, Emily was going to a concert with some friends in Philadelphia. She was going to pick up a friend at school on the way- somewhere in Delaware I think. That afternoon, Emily called me at work. Here’s how the conversation played out:
Me: “Good afternoon, this is Melissa”.
Em: “Hi it’s me. I have a really dumb question.”
Me: “I probably have a really dumb answer, what’s up?”
Em: “Okay, I’m on my way to pick up Laura for this concert. I’m on the highway, and there’s three lanes of traffic. Which lane do I need to be in?”
Me: “What do you mean which lane do you need to be in?”
Em: “Well, I’ve never driven on a highway with more than two lanes. Which one should I be driving in?”
Me: “It depends on how fast you are driving…”
Em: (interrupting) “Well, right now I’m in the middle lane and I’m not going very fast at all.”
Me: “why not?”
Em: “Because I’m behind an 18-wheeler and he’s going really slow.”
Me: “Then pass him.”
Em: “I can’t, I don’t know which way he’s turning.”
Me: “what do you mean you don’t know which way he’s turning?”
Em: “He’s got both his turn signals on!!!”
Me: “Emily…”
Very, very long pause while I try my hardest to keep from laughing at her.
Me: “Emily, those are his four way flashers.”
Em: “His what?!”
Me: “His four way flashers! That means he’s going slower than the rest of traffic. You can pass him he’s not turning.”
(a giggle slips out.)
Em: “Are you laughing at me?????”
Me: can’t hold it in anymore and loses it…
Em: “click”
