We don't like the kids to drive the new van, but don't have a problem with the old Jeep. And all of our kids drive differently. My oldest stepson never did get the hang of it. He gets distracted so easily. Still doesn't have his DL!Kim Van Sicklerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04957877837203134260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-52220828611283687952012-01-18T07:01:09.321-06:002012-01-18T07:01:09.321-06:00First of all, congrats on finishing your work on D...First of all, congrats on finishing your work on DON'T FEED THE BOY! What a great idea and fun cover too...so exciting! And hats of to you for being such a good mom. I remember learning to drive. I'm a bit, um, clumsy, so my parents were afraid to teach me. They sent me to a professional driving school, and when I passed my test...my mom sent the (male) teacher flowers!! Hang in there. He's lucky to have a mom who remembers the 90% number. a.Amy L Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03830987204619914326noreply@blogger.com
