To every mom, dad, sister and brother who taught a teenager how to drive:
I bow down to you. 
 I applaud you. 
I respect you. 
 I would resurrect a monument in your image,
and petition for a National Holiday in your honor if I could.


I'm pretty damn sure there is a Groupon out there somewhere for Driver's Ed Therapy. 


 And to my teenager: 
 I apologize for my 
 language 
insistence of a brake on the passenger side 
language 
death-grip on the door handle 
language 
increased volume and rapid repetition of 'SLOW DOWN' 
language 
any other melt down that may or may not have happened in the passenger seat
 language
 ... 
and that is pretty much all I have to say about that!

  1. First -- awesome shots! I think you may have an up-and-coming model on your hands. So with that thought -- forget Driver's Ed. He can have a chauffeur drive him around. :)

  2. Thanks Nancy. Sad thing is "I" would probably end up his chauffeur - been there, done that!

  3. I taught all three of my kids to drive - and now I have been asked if I want to teach the grandsons when they start driving in a few years. No Thank You. Been There - Done That - Lived to Tell About It - Never again!

  5. Love the pics! The first one looks like something out of GQ. Yes, it hasn't been all that long since I was in your shoes. One of the hardest things to do as a parent is to sit in the passenger seat. My (very lucky) husband was working long hours when my kids were learning to drive so I got the brunt of it. Glad that is over. On the positive side, they are both good drivers.

  7. Love that vintage car and looks like your son is rocking the vintage look, too! Oh, I remember those wonderful days! I had 4 teenagers at once (4 kids in 5 years) and that is how I got my gray hair. Let's see, we went through countless red lights, spun out on gravel, almost cut off a police officer and barely avoided getting hit by a train. I don't envy you. Chin up, girl, soon you can send him on lots of errands. It's the law. he he. Hugs xoxo

  8. What a timely post! First, fabulous photos - I love the vintage look on these. I can totally relate to the trials of teaching one's teenager to drive - and you know, that imaginary brake on the passenger side does not work!
    The key to my sanity - closing my eyes and praying!
    My daughter successfully received her license this past week and I tell you - it is so liberating not having to drive her around!

  10. Seriously, I think our riding lawn mower helped my kids...but our neighbors kid shot across the lawn, went down the ditch, across the street and landed in the neighbors front yard. His reply? "How would I know where the brake is, you just showed me the gas." Hang in there...
