If you were to ask me to list the scariest words in the English language, a few years ago, it would have looked something like this:
- Strep throat
- It's probably viral
- Check E. Cheese
- Parent-teacher conference
- I couldn't find any clean underwear (don't ask)
Then, I picked up my oldest daughter (she turned 16, last week) and she laid 6 more on me, right in the middle of the high school parking lot:
"I started driver's ed, today!"
I knew this day would come. Dreaded it more than anything (even hot flashes) actually.
[the sound of brakes, screeching to a halt]
Then, she showed me the Parent Resource for Teen Driving Safety manual she received and I was all, like:
"You wanna drive home?"
