Two conversations I had with the boy last week...
Conversation #1 happened while we were driving to church. The speed limit in the area is 55 mph. I may or may not have been running a teensy bit late.
As we went around a corner, he said,
"I can feel the G-Forces."
Conversation #2 happened on the way to school. The speed limit in this area is 35 mph and 20 mph (school zone). I may or may not have had a few cars behind me.
As we rounded a curve, he said,
"Gosh. You have, like, 50 cars lined up behind you."
Not too long ago, I asked him who he wanted to teach him to drive when the time came... me or Dan/Daddy?
His response?
"Well... when it comes to rules and laws, I want you to teach me."
(smile.) (I won.)
But then he said,
"I want Daddy to teach me how to get out of a spin."
Great. Because all teen drivers need to know how to get out of a spin.
I need to remember to ask Mario Andretti (I mean, Dan/Daddy) how many "spins" he's actually had to get out of.
I am also accepting applications for a personal Driver's Ed teacher. We will be filling the position in 3 - 4 years. It seems as if his parents are unqualified.
