New Year’s Resolutions in 2021: A Traffic Comedy
Ever tried to commit to a New Year’s resolution and then felt like you were stuck behind a slow‑moving scooter? Most of us can nod in solemn agreement. Add a little everyday drama and you’ve got a full‑blown story of patience, kindness, and the absurdity of road safety.
The Roadblock
- It’s New Year’s Day—the sky’s bright, the air is fresh, and every driver wants to be the hero of this fresh start.
- Our protagonist, former actress Jacelyn Tay, swerves out of her driveway and dives onto the single‑lane road.
- She spots a hopelessly cute, 18‑year‑old couple dashing under a tiny umbrella, chatting away like a scene from a rom‑com.
- “No honk!” she thinks, but the couple, blissfully oblivious to the honking light in the distance, keeps swerving.
- The mini‑traffic police, or as Jacelyn calls it, “the car behind the lovebirds,” sparks a very real ideological debate—patience vs. control.
Mom’s Oops Moment
She politely, then forcefully, in the car said, “Oh no, you lovely pair, remember the traffic laws!”
The couple started humming and obliviously kept moving forward.
She’s left replaying that moment, because the feel‑good idea of “honoring the love” vs “making the most of a clear sky” feels far apart.
Enter the Kids: The Tiny Siri
As the conversation gets steamy, a blast from the future arrives: Jacelyn’s nine‑year‑old son, Zavier, pops out of the backseat.
- “Mama, you said 2021 is the year of kindness.” —Yes, the same year when you stopped your mom from flipping the traffic lights.
- “Remember we need to practice kindness in our words and actions.” —Because he’s basically a kid‑version of a therapist.
- “Don’t let others’ mistakes become your trouble.” —Galaxy‑level philosophy for his mom.
Zavier’s words act like a meme: “Don’t let anyone else’s logbook ruin your task.” It’s a reminder that sometimes the best therapy comes from what your child is obsessed with.
How Jacelyn Earns the 2021 “Year Of Kindness” Award
She smiles, chuckles, and says, “We’re now inside the circle of kindness.”
She recognizes that kids literally mirror everything they hear and they’re always ready to ask the next question.
“Children are mirrors of their parents,” Jacelyn says.
If we speak wisely, they learn to think critically.
If we’re loud and careless, they just ask “Why did you say that?”
Final Thought
This Instagram thread is more than a funny car accident—it’s a reminder that kindness, patience, and mindful communication can and should guide our everyday habits—even if that means learning that your little kid might know the secrets of avoiding traffic jams through the art of teaching.
