The Great Freeway Phone Caper…

It was a sunny Saturday, and I was cruising down the freeway with my wife. Music was blasting, and everything felt perfect—until it didn’t. Suddenly, I remembered I needed to check something on my phone.

“Why are you pulling over?” my wife asked, confused.

“Hand me my phone!” I replied, my voice filled with urgency.

“We’re on the freeway!” she exclaimed, wide-eyed.

“Hand. Me. My. PHONE!” I insisted, feeling a sense of impending doom if I didn’t check it immediately.

She glanced at the cars whizzing by and sighed. “Okay, but this is a terrible idea!”

As I pulled over to the shoulder, I fumbled for my phone, ready to check my social media updates. But just then, a squirrel dashed across the road, causing a car to swerve wildly.

“See? This is exactly why we don’t pull over on the freeway!” my wife said, shaking her head.

I finally got my phone in hand and turned to her with a sheepish grin. “You know, I didn’t even remember what I needed to check. I just wanted an excuse to stop and grab a snack!”

She rolled her eyes. “You mean to tell me we could’ve just waited until the next exit for a snack?”

“Yep!” I chuckled. “But at least we have a good story now, right?”

Moral of the Story: Sometimes, it’s better to be patient and think things through before making a rash decision. And never underestimate the power of a good snack break—just make sure it’s safe!
