I barely avoided teaching X-man the sacred words, "You stupid mother..." when a girl driving a black Ford Escort went careening around the corner in front of the UI Ice arena onto a side road and almost hit a family crossing. The corner is not well lit, sure. But she had no turn signal on and was going way too fast and was not looking for pedestrians at all.
X-man repeated, "You stupid mother?" cause he hadn't heard it before. Then he asked what stupid meant. I said, "Not smart."
"Oh."
But he didn't say, "My mother isn't stupid!" Maybe because he knew I was by letting my disdain show like that.
Instead, he insisted that the police come and give her a ticket for going too fast.
