The Back Seat

For months, when I take the moms out with me in the truck or car, they seem to "fight" in a polite manner about sitting in the back.  No one wants to sit in front with me.  I found myself wondering if I smelled bad.

I did start to have a minor complex forming, every time, when the 2 of them come out with me, it's always the same.

Today was no different, I was in the truck, engine on, both moms were standing outside the truck.  All I could hear is, "No, you sit in the front."  "No, you."  Back and forth this went.

Finally after what seemed like an hour but was probably more like 20 seconds I said, "Will you guys just get in the truck?  This bus is leaving the station."

My mom got in back, my mom-in-law, she hops in the front. 

Then it dawned on me why my mom wants the back seat all the time... I don't enforce the back seat belt rule as much as I do with passengers in the front.
