Dear Reader,
There's a horn in our car, but my husband doesn't like to use it. No worries about getting a worn spot on the old tooter, nope instead of beeping at someone to let them know they're cutting him off, my husband tries to talk the other driver through it.
"Oh no. Don't, don't, do that! You aren't really coming into my lane are you? Stop, stop, can't you see me here?"
Of course they don't, and thankfully my husband's a real good swerver, so he always manages to get out of their way.
On occasion my husband will resort to beeping the horn, but his version is a slight tap, tap, in the vicinity of where the horn should be on the steering wheel. In fact his first tap doesn't even make any noise, the second tap is merely a trace of a toot, perhaps a passing mosquito might move out of the way, and, if and when my husband does manage to finally blow the horn, so another driver could hear it--it's never heard by the offending driver. No, that car is long gone--four blocks up ahead. So now the other drivers around us hear my husband's "beep", can clearly see there's no need for anyone to blow a horn, they assume we know them and everyone waves as we drive by.
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.
