After my son obtained his driver's permit, the rest of the family joined us in a celebratory dinner at Applebee's. We are so proud of him! Still, everyone had to tease him a bit about everything: from the questions he missed, to his photo, to the nervous driving he is sure to display at first. We all shared our beginning driver stories with him--I had to learn on a stick shift, and I NEVER mastered the art of smoothly letting my foot off of the clutch. For now, he only has automatic transmissions to deal with--but he WANTS to learn how to drive a standard transmission. According to him, all of the really cool sports cars are five speed--an automatic just isn't as cool. Well, take it from me--cool doesn't mean safer! I DO want a cool Mustang someday soon, but MINE will have automatic transmission!! I refuse to be back in that awful position of trying to smoothly shift gears--it brings me nightmares just thinking about it. So MY Mustang will be cool--but it WILL be an automatic!! :)
