I'm sorry, but how did it happen that we have a kid old enough to get his learner's permit?!? We blinked and there he is. Reed actually wasn't really interested in getting his permit, since he's a homebody...Tod resorted to bribing him with $50. (For the record, I wasn't really consulted on this plan.) He was also worried that if he had his license, I'd be sending him to the grocery store every 10 minutes. While I hope that eventually he'll see that driving is fun and it's nice to get out of the house and do something helpful to your family, for now I've told him that once he gets his real license, if I need a quick item from the store, it will be totally optional for him to go get it (barring unusual circumstances like illness, which I've already stipulated). He drives a hard bargain.
He took the test and passed it...Tod's been taking him out to practice in the parking lots between Lunsford and Cardinal Ridge Elementary, working toward the required 45 hours of practice needed to get your actual driver's license. I am not sure I have the temperament to teach him, I think I'd be a nervous wreck and would make him more nervous. I may not ever even ride with him until he's 30. LOL
I guess we'll see about signing him up for behind the wheel training, and then he'll take the classroom part of Driver's Ed in school in the fall, hopefully.
