I was worried about my son passing his driver's test. The last couple of days, I had heard quite a few people say how they failed their first time. So I didn't say anything to my son. He was worried he would fail.
We spent quite a bit of time on parallel parking this weekend. I remember when I took my test, my instructor having me parallel park. When I was done, she said, "You did a great job, but I want you to get closer to the curb". I remember thinking, "CRAP".
After he finished with his parallel parking, he knew he had it made. Sure enough, they went out driving and he came back and had passed. He says it was actually very easy. So all the work I did teaching him paid off.
And of course, once we got home, he left on his own in his own car. I just realized I need to get off this blog and go pray for his safety. You want them to reach that next milestone of growing up and then you realize that they are still your little child, who you want to hold on to and protect.
