City Drivers

After leaving our Dr.'s appointment today we navigated through Streeterville- or what I have determined to be the most insane area to drive around in Chicago. At one point we were stuck at a four way stop for so long that when we finally went I had five minutes worth of pent up rage. So it was no surprise that when some little dude in a Honda started to accelerate towards us mid-intersection, I had no choice but to give him the bird.

Denver was not pleased.

"You can't do that, he could've pulled out a gun and shot you, don't ever do that again. What if we knew that guy and I saw him later and he was like, 'hey Denver I saw you and your cute pregnant wife in Streeterville today, yeah I was the guy she gave the finger to.'"

"Sorry."

"Why did you do that???"

"I felt threatened."

There is no excuse for my juvenile behavior. But it's true there are A LOT of ridiculous drivers in Chicago. Anyone who decides to accelerate while a car is in the middle of an intersection deserves more than just a finger, they should get a big slap in the face. Look everyone, just get out of my way. I'm hungry all the time because I have a big baby in my belly and I'm feisty on top of that. Watch out. Somebody get me a cupcake.
