Does it make me a nervous wreck that one of my kids is now a licensed driver and therefore can drive alone in a car without me? Yes. But am I gonna take advantage of that by sending him to the store when I don’t want to? You’re dang right I am.
@TheAmberPicota I'm SO looking forward to that! Enjoy! My older one was late getting interested in driving. He's interested now, of course, but hasn't logged much time behind the wheel yet. If he was licensed, I'd send him to the store right now for some things, as I sooooo don't want to go.
@TheAmberPicota I got my daylight license at 14. Did my folk leave a vehicle down at the bus barn so when I got home early AM from sporting events, they didn’t have to drive down to pick me up? Yes they did.
@TheAmberPicota My youth ministry had a wave of new licensees not long ago, and I heard this exact conversation a lot.
@TheAmberPicota I felt like a gopher when I got my license in high school. I'd "gopher" this and "gopher" that for my parents all the time.
@TheAmberPicota It’s a scary day indeed, when someone from the DMV rides with the kid for a couple minutes and says they can drive alone.
@TheAmberPicota Added bonus said child once in awhile adds gas. At least for me 3 months in on the new driver.
