Limes, Lemons, Cherries

Have you ever squeezed a lemon before? (you very might well have and just not realized it). Each time you grab the steering wheel, you feel determined: There's no way in hell you're waiting another minute! A lemon is sure a close call, and anyone's capable of it - every Tom, Dick and Harry. Sometimes you don't see it at all, until you look up and realize it's already turned cherry. It's a rarer site to see someone squeezing that one, but there's no doubt it happens now and then. Some call it stupid, others brave and daring. Me? I just wanna get out of the car and grab a pen. Squeezing a lime sounds much more safe. Feeling a bit less brave, a small price to pay, for living another glorious day. But my dad is a different sort all together. He goes through the entire fruit smoothie, it's just his way. There'll be honking from behind, people yelling, "What are you friggin' color blind? Get off the Bluetooth, man!". And I'm just sitting in the front seat thinking, "I have such great writing material, so close at hand". I'll have my head crouched low feigning embarrassment, but in reality this man, driving me, where I need to go is the spitting image of myself forty years down the road...
