Never to young to learn āhow to encourage other drivers to drive correctlyā. Only the hand signals & choice of words change as you get older.

When I was driving my daughter home from the hospital after she was born, some jerk did something stupid that caused me to say something encouraging. My wife said, āWell, there goes THIS kidās innocence.ā

oh yes when my youngest was 5 he spent the afternoon āhelpingā our neighbor build something in their back yard and came home with a whole new vocabulary, i am sure those encouraging words were pretty much the same

Cul de Sac is fast becoming the new Calvin & Hobbes for me - and thatās high praise indeed.

I agree with you. It has itās own independent magic from other comics that Iāve loved, but that same glorious feeling.
