Watch out bay area motorists!
This was his second attempt, so actually I was happy for him since I would hate to see him dissapointed again. Still, I've tried to make it clear that just because he has a driver's license doesn't mean necessarily he can drive. Yeah, right. Try telling that to a 17 yo boy who has waited so long to be "like his friends". He tells me he's proven himself to be responsible by refraining from drinking, smoking and drugs, unlike many of his friends. Well, I can't argue with that but there is still the matter of a little thing called "experience". Again, try explaining that to a teen!
So now I get to hear the old time honored phrase, "can I borrow the car?" a few times a day. And of course, we are going to look at a used car this weekend. Sigh. I'm sure there is a special place in heaven for parents of teens....
