~ Khalil Gibran
Having
children, especially as they grow older -- but not old enough to drive, requires
driving. A lot. Some of us don't mind early morning school
runs while others have trouble with mornings.
And some of us early birds can't do the late nights.
On a recent
Friday night, four moms and their four daughters piled into one mom's car for
the drive to a party that was farther than at least a couple of the moms were
comfortable driving. The crew chauffeur,
a teacher who wakes up early, good naturedly drove around as they tried to find
the party house. On the way back from
the party, one of the passenger moms fell asleep.
It takes a
village to raise our children. And thank
goodness that our village includes kind moms who don't mind late-night driving.
