Learning to drive

A few days ago, we gave K's friend a ride home from school. L asked if she could drive B part of the way to his house. She climbs into the driver's seat and B pronounces after a while 'she's way better than my mom was when she was learning'. I say 'B, how long ago was that?' He says 'oh, I was about 4 or 5 years old'. I go, 'you still remember that?' He says 'yes, I used to wear a blindfold when I went out with her'. Then after we dropped him off, K chuckled and said B was laughing so much (in a quiet way), because I kept going 'oooooo' whenever L drove past a parked car.

Oh yes I remember those "oooooo's" but I found two words that stopped me from going "oooooo" and there were not holy-crap they were Young Drivers :o)

Youa re a braver woman than I Christine. I just sent my daughter to driving lessons (in days before it cost too much). It was pain free for the pair of us.

Mom and Lilly, the thing is, she IS taking driving lessons with Young Drivers of Canada. The instructor recommends she gets practice outside of classes. I remember just learning inside the classes myself.
