Sorry it’s a bit long but it’s all true! I omitted a couple things for anonymity’s sake but otherwise it’s pretty spot on. Move to ********* if you want a quick read. Typed on my phone. Apologies for grammar. Hope you enjoy!
My parents were perhaps more surprised than I when I walked out with that shiny new drivers license. I had procrastinated until my 18th Birthday unlike most of my other friends who were driving at 16. Instead of handing me the keys, I was congratulated and then directed to the backseat for a lecture on defensive driving and the importance of leaving a safe distance between other cars. I listened intently hoping that my respectful behavior would grant the possibility of car freedom later that day. We shared a celebratory family dinner and as we neared the end of dessert my Dad reluctantly handed me the keys.
