Phil and Mom

I wasn't the only one who took Mom for long drives. Me brother Phil did the most often, truth be told.

He recalls that Mom had her little sayings, catchphrases which would come up while they were tooling about.

There was one regular phrase whenever someone would speed past them on the freeway. Phil would be doing maybe five miles over the limit when a car would shoot by clearly way faster than the posted speeds. "Shoulda left earlier," Mom would always remark.

Indeed.
