I was in the car with my friends the other day, maneuvering the squares, and that reminded me of traffic circles. My daddy tried to explain traffic circles to me once. We were coming down off the Huey P. and smack into one. I had never had to drive in one before and the thought of them was a little intimidating (because they explain everything so well in Drivers Ed).
As my dad drove, he explained who had the right of way and which lanes you needed to be in to get in and to get out. Oh is that all? I thought. Traffic circles were going to be a breeze.
Some time later, I was driving with my mom and approaching a traffic circle. Feeling quite confident in my knowledge of those tricky traffic circles, I spouted off what I knew to my mom.
"What?! Arielle, that is not how you navigate a traffic circle. Who told you that?"
Thank you Daddy. I survived that traffic circle in spite of that faulty knowledge.
And because I like to reference Calvin and Hobbes sometimes...

Sweetheart daughter of mine, after a brief and yet firm discussion with your mother I realize what YOU did wrong that reflected an unfavorable light on my instructions/directions on how to navigate a basic traffic circle. YOU ran the stop sign before entering the traffic circle. I except all apologies across the span of the net starting with yours mom.
