So there's this little old lady......

I took the girls to gymnastics Friday morning. As I'm coming home, I need to make a right turn at a stoplight. Already at the light - stopped - is a little old lady in a typical little old lady boat.

I can tell she's ancient - I mean, I can see this huge ginormous floppy old lady hat peeking over the edge of the driver's seat.

The light in our direction turns from red to green. She doesn't move (her blinker is indicating she wants to turn right also, her car is already slightly turned that way, and she's watching traffic to the left).

She still doesn't move.

I tap my horn politely after a few secs to let her know the light is green. Meanwhile, traffic coming at us from the left side is all stopped at the light, and the oncoming traffic across from us is now turning left cuz she's not going anywhere.

I tap my horn again - politely - to get her to wake up. I'm thinking maybe she's had a massive coronary or something and is dead cuz it's OBVIOUS the light is only red in the other direction.

Still she doesn't move.

So I give the horn a good ole HONK and mutter a few curse words under my breath.

She finally turns.

The boys all cheer from behind me.

I turn.

And move into the left lane, cuz I need to turn left now. As I pass her, she honks at me.

I find this wildly amusing for some strange reason. I don't think she was being polite either when she honked.

She honks again, much more insistently.

I slow down waiting to turn and she pulls up alongside me.She's about 90000 years old and can barely see over the steering wheel. The floppy hat makes me wonder if she can see at all (and probably explains why she didn't know the light was green).

She pushes her hat up slightly.

And freaking flips me the bird.
