Annie, your cartoon reminds me of when I was a kid sitting in the back seat of the family car and my mother who was in the passenger seat said to my father "Well, if I was driving, I would have gone that way" and my father said "I thought that you were driving, Audrey!!" It became a running joke and we got a lot of miles out of it. Pun intended!

Jeb, my friends mom would get in the passenger seat and arrange all the mirrors so she could see the road, then tell his dad what to do.

Is a fake noodle called an impasta?
