Haha, love it! A risky rite of passage both for the driver and the teacher. My dad was my driver's ed teacher. One time I had to reverse out of a parking spot. I did a great job until I heard a crash. I reversed straight into the side of another car. That other car happened to be my boyfriend's car. Good times!

Thanks Minna, Was that how you met your boyfriend? That would make a good origin story. Ha!

I was about Finny's age with mom the instructor, and my sister at sixteen had both of us helping her parallel park. Lucky we lived next to a street full of church parking lots, one with cones at the ready to simulate other cars.

Congrats to both of you! Also, every other sentence here is just a treat. Like Charles says, you feel safe in the hands of a stylist, and I easily trust you steering the prose ❤️

Thanks David. Our town keeps cones in the parking lot of the ballfield for kids to learn to parallel park. They've been there for years and no one has ever stolen them. Respect.

Fun story that most of us can relate to.

I feel like your husband and me would get along. Also I feel the appropriate response to, "It's listed on our website" is, "I don't have Internet access." Regardless of the lie, it's the responsibility of those institutions to make information available.

Sounds like you were training on a standard? Good on you.
