The Car Driving Circle of Life

Just had a thought about the circle of life as it relates to the position of the family members in the car.

When you buy a new car, you are in the driver's seat. Possibly, with your spuse as the navigator and the parents in the back(ground). Once you have kid(s), they will make a lot of noise to try to sit up front, so the spouse moves into the back(ground) to make the children sit there. Slowly, the kids grow up and take over the navigator seat. As time goes by, they move into the driver's seat while you shift to the navigator. Soon, your kid gets married and the spouse takes the navigator seat while you join your spouse in the back(ground).

Sounds like the circle of life, doesn't it?
