Backseat driver

John has become a backseat driver. It started out innocently. He started out by telling me the color of the traffic light. He would see a green light and say "go, Mommy go!" He has also started to read street signs. He saw a Do Not Enter sign and was able to explain to me what it meant. This morning I made the turn onto Newman Springs Road and all I could hear from the backseat was "Speed. Go speedy!" I told him I was going the speed limit and I would not be going any faster. He quickly replied "But you gotta speed. You gotta catch those cars!" Luckily for me, the lights changed ahead of us and the cars he was pointing to had to slow down. Again from the backseat I heard "Yes! Now we are going to win. When the light is green you gotta go fast!" I am in so much trouble when he gets his drivers permit.
