Mailbox Head
So, my baby sister got her driver's license today. =D And what better way to start her first real independent drive with a license.... than to hit a mailbox head-on?
...Yes, my mom tore her a new one for that. But then again, everyone who drives hits a mailbox eventually. The trick is trying NOT to do it wherever possible. (I hit a friggin car in a crowded Wal-Mart parking lot, but all my dad did was cuss the action out and dropped it as soon as I finally parked. o_o) Besides, at least it only knocked the mailbox over and not break it, run over it, crash through the windshield, etc....
But hey, my mom let her try again after we managed to prop the mailbox up enough so that it'll stay up until dad gets home Monday. And after absolutely no close-calls, no almost-accidents and 25 bucks worth of groceries later, confidence was restored. (Odd thing is that my sister told me she's glad mom yelled at her about it. :o Well.. everyone learns not to do something their own way, I suppose.) Tomorrow she's taking me out to lunch and then up to do practice runs to Elkhorn. Sounds reasonable.
So do me a favor and go give eleganceliberty some big love. She deserves it after all of the trials and anxiety that preparing to get a driver's license brings.
