What gives a person unexpected courage?


Today me and Erin were out driving and we were in the far left turn lane on University Parkway. Erin had been being strong. She needed to go to the bathroom, but also knew that I wanted to look at some cars. The problem was that the car dealer was on the other side of road. About a 90' angle from us I'd say. I told her to turn left and we could do a U turn and make it back to the car lot I wanted. That's when Erin said, "I don't have that kind of time!" And she cut across every lane of traffic in a blaze of glory and turned into the car lot on the far right side of the road. I couldn't believe it. "I can't believe you did that!" I said. And she replied, "Spence, when I have to go to the bathroom it gives me courage!"

I think that I have finally found that saying that will go on the family crest.

The men in the men's restroom don't even mess with Erin when she has to go!
