Tuesday Smiles

Welcome to Tuesday Smiles, where our goal is simply to give you a smile.

Chad, my friend’s son, was at that awkward age—old enough for his first date, but too young to drive.

He gave his chauffeur/father strict instructions: “Just drive. Don’t turn around, don’t try to talk to the girl, and don’t embarrass me!”

My friend took Chad to pick up his date and stared straight ahead as his son opened the car door. When he heard it slam shut, he followed Chad’s wishes and drove away in silence.

As they went down the street, the date shyly leaned forward and said, “Excuse me, sir—Chad didn’t have time to get in the car. He’s still standing in my driveway.”
