FALLING UP, Photo and Story by Rebekah Ward
When my mom was teaching me how to drive, she would always say, “Slow up now, slow up.” It bothered me tremendously.
“Mom, the phrase is slow down, not slow up. You’re getting it confused with speed up. Would you like me to do that instead?”
“Just watch the road, Rebekah. When I tell you to slow up, just listen.”
You don’t slow up; you slow down. It’s almost like saying hair stands up instead of down and gravity just doesn’t let that happen, right?
“Rebekah, slow up! Did you not see that car braking ahead of you?”
