Buffy: between the lines

Take Your Mom With You

I pulled out in front of someone today and got "the finger". I partly underestimated the amount of traction I could get from the road and really underestimated the guy's speed (I'm pretty sure he was speeding). Nevertheless, I impeded his progress to the point that he felt it necessary to flip me off.

It got me thinking, and I wondered if he would have done that had his mother been sitting in the seat next to him. And that goes for a lot of the way people talk in public or fuss at someone in the office or a "discussion" between husband and wife.

How much different would our conversations be if we had our mothers in the room (assuming each of us respects our mothers)?

We might just treat everyone a little better if "take our mothers with us" everywhere we go.
