Back Seat Driver
“We are not lost!”
“Are so!”
“For the last time —“
“KNOCK IT OFF UP THERE OR I WILL HAVE TO SEPARATE YOU TWO!” Victoria’s parents had been fighting for the last half hour.
From the back seat, Victoria took control. “I don’t want to hear another word out of you until I say so.” They started to protest. “Shush! We’ll use my smartphone GPS and get to where we are going just fine. Both of you, settle down and be quiet. Dad, drive.”
Parents! Victoria shook her head in despair. You try to raise them right . . .

It's a long story ... 
Hahaha. Great story, Tresha and a great title too.
Ohh, loved to cackle in laughter at that one. A whole new take on the “backseat driver”. Loved it!
Haha, nice role switch 🙂
Giggles! That’s a nice story. Do you suppose Victoria has to organise their movie streaming when they’re at home? I bet she worries whether they can cope when she’s not there! I loved the role reversal.
Fabulous, to raise a smile.
Such a lovely story. The title was amusing as well 🙂
Definitely unique take on the prompt and on the term “backseat driver.”
Exactly the kind of protagonist children’s book editors love to see these days. Or as one editor put it in her writing-for-children guideline, “Parents should be seen and not heard.”
Yes! Parents need to set a good example!
Ah! Nice role reversal. Glad she got them to shush up. Have never liked the idea of parents quarreling in front of the kids. After all we lead by example.
Nice take on the prompt Tresha.
Ah, some wonderful comic relief. yay for Victoria 🙂
Funny! It’s amazing how much you do with so few words. I have a vivid mental picture of Victoria!
