**For those uncertain to what a DYK thread is......**

DYK stands for Did You Know or Do You Know

It is simply a chit chat thread where every thought is written in sentences and each sentences starts with the initials DYK---it is fun, entertaining and a great way to meet the board members.

Kristen will sometimes stomp on the brake so hard you get whiplash LOL.

And she hasn't really learned to coast either- it's either the gas or the brake.

I know Tracy. We had planned to have three kids but one at a time. LOL Never did twins ever get figured into our plans. LOL My greatest saying I have said since they were born is, If I have known that we'd end up with twins I would have waited until Matthew was older to have them. But, of course you never know what you will get. :-) I love my girls but I still wish to this day that Matthew was older when we had them, but I can't change that and have grown to live with it.

I think about that at times also. We originally had planned to keep my sunfire for her to use, but it just went kaput and we got the Tahoe, and that's gone, so now we are both driving DH's Jimmy. Now I am glad she's driving the Jimmy as opposed to the Tahoe since even I had trouble manuevering that at times. And she will be getting my dad's Jimmy when she turns 16, so she will have plenty of experience driving it. She has trouble at times knowing where on the road she is, she hugs the center lane which unnerves me!

She does take her driving instructor lessons in a mid-sized 4 door car, so I am glad she does get some practice with the smaller car.

Funny, I always grew up wanting twin girls! Until I realized how exactly babies worked, then I wanted none of it. LOL! DH reminds me I was the one that really wanted Emma, while we had both talked about having kids when we got married, and DH would be happy with 10 of them, he was also completely content with just the "two" we had and would have been completley fine with no more. I was the one that wanted another one so badly, so I guess I really am just getting what I asked for. LOL!

DH usually takes Nichole out driving, but since she accidently let her permit expire (while she was in Canada last summer, no less) she hasn't been driving.

It could very well be because of the age. I think that is part of the reason why they keep bringing up pushing the drivers license age to 18 instead of 16. Honestly, if we lived somewhere were mass transit was commonly used all the time, I could see reasons to wait.

Jordyn did make the comment yesterday that Chicago sounded like a better place to live and work because she wouldn't NEED to drive on the express ways and stuff and then she could use the mass transits to get around more.

If they offered more "accessible" mass transits here more people would give up their cars.
