I let Thing 1 drive to and from the grocery store yesterday. He did pretty good for his first time driving on the main roads. I was having a panic attack on the inside.
How old we're you when you started driving? I was 16. I've gotten about 7 speeding tickets in 30 years. That's kind of embarrassing.

Does he know how nervous you are? Are you making those little gasping sounds that some passengers tend to make?
