5 Year Old Teaches Mom to Look at the Silver Lining of Road Construction
Anyone who hails from Chicago knows that we have two seasons: winter and construction. Now that construction season is upon us, it is often difficult to stay in a good mood while commuting. When construction delays forced me to take a circuitous route home last week, bypassing the highway and winding through all sorts of local roads we had never seen before, I was starting to get frustrated. I mean, how is it that every highway needs to be upgraded every spring? I just want to get on the highway and fly home, you know? Kids are in the car, we're hungry and tired, and I could feel my blood starting to boil as we hit yet another red light. We finally pulled into the garage, and my 5 year old says, "Mommy, I really liked the new way you took us home today- it was very creative !" God bless preschool teachers. God bless 'em.
