I LOL at this, and must tell you all of a similar true story...
The year was 1975 and I was helping my wondeful aunt move household. She was highly educated (PhD Education), however lacked some common experience due to being cloistered in the Franciscan religious order having attained the rank of Mother Superior.
Of course, she was a notoriously poor driver having only a few years practice at her advanced age and consequently asked me durring one of our hauls, "what does that mean when these NUTS point the middle finger to you while driving?". Appearently she got that reaction often from those she shared the roads with, as we had that day again.LOL
I laughed, and said it sort of like "Gosh Dang You"... So, right on cue she had the opportunity to "Gosh Dang" a driver before we reached our destination...LOL...True story....
I told my mom, laughing and she chuckled and said she would have a talk with her sister and explain things about flipping off other drivers, as it's not at all cool for a lady to do.... LOL
But for at least a few days there was an old lady driving around her town with stereotypically poor driving skills, flipping off these other NUTs on the road...lol

I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting, so I bought the sticker and put in on my bumper. I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord and how good He is and I didn't notice that the light had changed. It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed. I found that LOTS of people love Jesus. Why, while I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy, and when he leaned out of his window and screamed, "for the love of God, GO! GO!" What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus. Everyone started honking! I just leaned out of my window and started waving and smiling at all these loving people. I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love. There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a sunny beach... I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. When I asked my teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant, he said that it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something. Well, I've never met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign back. My grandson burst out laughing, why even he was enjoying this religious experience. A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me. I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed. So, I waved to all my sisters and brothers grinning, and drove on through the intersection. I noticed I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again and I felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had shared, so I slowed the car down, leaned out of the window and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away. Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks! |
