Kids in the car

During recent excursion to College Park, two funny incidents came to the light that have not been posted in this blog earlier. So I will recount them here.

Long time back (don't know exactly when), Hallu (aka Kaushik) wanted to learn to drive. Since Shock was popular volunteer to give rides and all to FOBs in UMD area, he asks Shock to teach him driving. During their very first lesson Hallu made an accident at an intersection. As they stepped down to exchange contact info and settle other matter, they heard the lady in the other car talking on phone and saying that they had an accident with an "old man with his kid..."

Another similar incident happened when we were driving to have a quick hike at the Great Falls. I was driving in my car. Shivani was driving another car with  Monika on the passenger seat and Hallu and Arun (not Shock, another fellow) in the back seat. Shivani was over-speeding so a cop stopped them. The officer walks to Shivani, looks at the back seat and says "Ma'am, you should not be driving at such a high speeds with children in the car." Shivani is actually younger in age than Hallu and Arun.

Vindo.. the comment was not exactly "old man with a kid".. It was more along the lines of "kid learning driving with his dad" :)
