Driving to Work
I’ve got about a 10 minute drive on the Interstate to get from Keira’s school to my office. Today, in that 10 minutes, I saw a guy shaving. Yes, shaving while driving 80 mph down the Interstate. I thought that was goofy, then I looked in my rear view mirror and saw that he had ALSO answered his phone, NOT handsfree! Note that I said ALSO. He did not stop shaving or driving . . . he was shaving, driving, and holding a phone to his ear . . . I can only assume he was driving with his knee - something I am very good at after having watched my dad do it for years when I was a child 
The next time I glance back shaver man had hung up the phone and put the shaver down, and was now BRUSHING HIS TEETH . . . with a regular old toothbrush, not an electric one - so he’s scrubbing away with one hand, occasionally checking himself out in his mirror, and driving with the other hand. He even had a spit cup that he was using to spit the toothpaste into!
I’m just glad he didn’t start applying makeup like the lady in the car next to me was doing!

Wow! That is quite a lot for one person to be doing in the car. I usually am just singing along to kids songs at the top of my lungs before realizing I have already dropped the kids off at day care….oops!
HA! I do that, too
Although, I really like the Curious George soundtrack by Jack Johnson . . . at least I can tolerate that over and over because it’s also “real” music - and we love Jack Johnson
