What's a "driveway moment"? It's when you're so captivated by a story on NPR that you stay in your car to hear it to the end - even if you're sitting in your own driveway. For years, listeners have written to NPR to describe such moments. Some are serious, some are touching, and some, like the stories included here, are very, very funny.

I enjoy all of the NPR driveway moments collections, but I was particularly moved by this collection. It was touching and funny and reminded me of my own memories of my father.
