Shelby has her drivers permit! YIKES!

Shelby now has her permit and is already bugging me on a regular basis to go driving. Now it should be noted that in Texas, you get your permit before you ever sit behind the wheel and drive. State law says the kids need their permit to drive on TX roads, even with an instructor. Shelby has had a grand total of one lesson with and instructor and now thinks she is ready to help with all our driving. She even went so far the other night to suggest that I have some adult beverages at dinner, then she could drive home. It would obviously be safer to have her drive home than for me to drive after drinking. I told her that I appreciated the offer, but that I could refrain from those type of beverages just this once.

I did take her out on the roads and to her high school parking lot the other night, and I must admit, that for a first time driver she is doing well. She still has a long way to go, but there is hope.
