From pretty much that day onward, I always drove on the highway and in the big city - my mother was too chicken! Well, really, that was a good thing because she was a terrible driver...<BR/><BR/>When I was sixteen, I drove probably half the distance between Edmonton and Winnipeg, which is a 24 or 28 hour drive. No continental divide, but still, quite the distance.<BR/><BR/>I still love road trips. Unfortunately, in Sri Lanka, the roads are so terrible, so narrow, and so packed that you're lucky if you ever reach the top legal speed limit of 70 km/h. That about, oh, 42 mph for you Yanks. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23169957.post-1151094862917239662006-06-23T16:34:00.000-04:002006-06-23T16:34:00.000-04:00Brilliantdonkey - you are so right.

It is amazing to think such gems come from children sometimes. Now if we adults could just learn from them, life would be good. Then again i guess the trade off would be in order to 'get that' as adults we would have to also go back to the not so good things children say and repeat as well. "Mommy your boss isn't as mean as you said she was!" Great post Kelly, and nice blog as well. I look forward to reading more of it.briliantdonkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05159881776835603748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23169957.post-1151068077912920082006-06-23T09:07:00.000-04:002006-06-23T09:07:00.000-04:00Hello Jennifer!
