02/08/2003: "Sister's driving!"
Today I get a phone call:
My sister: "Hi Brooke! Guess what I'm doing right now?"
My fifteen year old sister was behind the wheel of a car for the first time. My heart nearly quit working. I guess this is to prepare me for when, four months from now, she gets her temps. She was driving around an empty parking lot with my mother in the passenger seat going, "Slow down! Slow down!" When I asked my mom how fast Lindsay was going, she said "Not even five miles per hour."
My dad did the same thing with me, but he started much younger. I was about 13 the first time he pulled into a parking lot and suggested I try my hand at it. Of course, the first time I did, we were driving his stick-shift Miata, and the clutch and everything had me so confused I threw up my hands and decided that this driving thing was way too complicated.
For those of you gasping at the idea of a thirteen year old behind the wheel, I was a thirteen year old comparable to Hermione from Harry Potter. Think serious, bossy (I still get teased for how bossy I was...am...), and too brainy for my own good.
