When I was a real little kid, I knew directions everywhere, so one day when my mom was driving (I was in the backseat) and stopped at a stoplight I commented about how the people who worked the stoplights never got to go home. My mom then laughed and told me that machines worked the stoplights. I was terrified! I told my mom they could make us crash and that people could control it better! Which, really, isn't true at all.
