“Get back on the road!” I cried, waving my hands in the direction she should turn. “That’s it.”

I took a deep breath, but stopped breathing almost instantly. “Watch out for that guy in the red car! Slow down!”

My heart pounded in my throat. Any second now I knew she was going to collide with something and that would be it.

I leaned to the left as if that would cause the car to swerve in that direction.

“Ok, you can do it. Don’t slam on to the gas, just easy… that’s it.” My god, I was starting to sound like my father.

She turned to look at me. “Geeze, Uncle Jason, I know what I’m doing. I have done this before, you know,” she said with that exasperated tone she got sometimes.

“Keep your eyes on the road!” I cried grabbing onto the armrests.

She actually eeped as she turned and veered out of the way of a truck that cut her off.

I closed my eyes and kept them shut until it was all over.

“Ha!” she cried. “Totally beat my high score.” She turned to me and smiled triumphantly and it was only then that I allowed myself to breathe again.

Mario Kart was not the same thing, but you know what, if it’s any indication, I so don’t want to be around when Jessica starts driving.
