Back Seat Driver

I have been put in my place, repeatedly, by my two year old back seat driver. Jenna sits on the passenger side, so she has a clear view of me. About a week ago, as I was driving, I hear "Mommy! "One hand driving get you in accident! Use two hands!" With this, she puts up both her hands in the air as if she is holding onto a steering wheel. I replied, humbly, "Oh, OK Jenna. I'm sorry." as I put my other hand on the wheel. Now, every time she sees one of my hands come off the wheel, I am scolded in some way or the other and reminded of how I am going to get in an accident. I don't know where this came from. I have observed, however, that she doesn't seem to mind asking me to get her things while I am driving, therefore, requiring me to take a hand off the wheel to locate said object and then hand said object to her. Hmm, I guess the two-hand rule applies only at certain times!

Henry says, "Why you slowin down?" all the time. And yells for me to stop at stop signs that do not apply to our travelling direction. Contradictory kid.
