What are we really teaching our kids!!

So, I'm driving down the street with chubbs to get to the main road, I have no stop sign, but there are two stops signs to each side of me. I see a car stop at the sign to the right of me so I keep going because, I have the right of way, and then the idiot (young driver) pulls out in front of me not realizing that I was coming. So I honk my horn and slam on my break just in time to not hit the guy. As I'm blowing my horn I say, "learn how to drive!" Well, what Caleb said next is what really blew me away, "yeah, cuz you old people don't know how to drive!" Well, needless to say, I was pretty shocked, fully aware of the fact that he got the idea from me. For some reason when my three year-old says things like that it sounds worse then when I say it. So, I tried to level with the kid and in doing so pointed out that the idiot driver who almost killed us was a young guy and not just old people can't drive, but many people can't drive. Yeah, I'm proud of my parenting skills, at least he'll be well prepared for if and when we ever go back to down town Oakland and he has to drive in china town.
