Coming of Age: The Front Seat

My random thought of the day…

A few months ago, my oldest daughter was riding in the front seat of my car for the first time. It was a warm day, so I turned on the air conditioner. Then Racquel and I had the following conversation.

Rocky: “Hey, I feel cool air on my feet!”

Me, a little confused: “Um, yeah, the AC has floor vents.”

Rocky: “Whoa! I didn’t know that … that’s so unfair we don’t have it in the back!”

I sort of marveled at that and how times have changed. When I was a kid, nobody cared whether we rode in the front or back seat. To me, floor vents seemed like a common knowledge thing.

With the advent of modern safety guidelines/laws, however, the “front seat” is a rite of passage … one that includes the discovery of floor vents that keep your toes cool.
