Who is in the driver’s seat?

“It’s a chair”, the child was exasperated with her mischievous nudging.

“Look again. It looks like an insect is in the driver’s seat.

Years later, the child was indeed in the driving seat.

He handed over the keys of the remodelled vehicle to her.

“This will be your food truck. I will pay the salaries of your driver and helpers. I’ve enjoyed your cooking in childhood. Make it a full-fledged business now.”

People often ask why is her business called Ron’s Refreshments, and she cheekily says,

“He is my best customer.”

Ron smiles as he digs into the fried chicken.
