Teaching your teen to drive... Yikes!!

What are you afraid of, Ebola, Cancer, War, ISIS?

Well for me I am terrified of my son being out on the open road... He is about to turn 15 years old here in about a month. He is an amazing kid, awesome, charismatic and smart young man but as a father it is so nerve wracking to picture this little boy who once held my hand with his entire arm extended as if I would pull it out of its socket. Now my baby boy is driving and dating and... Oh God!! I just had a panic attack!


How I think of him even today





Reality of my baby boy...

Fortunately enough for me I have a bad you know what Fiance who was there to take the self proclaimed "Selfie King!" out for a drive to give him some confidence driving.

Step 1. Safety suckas! Buckle up, check your gauges and make sure your vehicle is safe for "activities." Check to make sure that you are comfortable and that all your mirrors and gauges are viewable.

 

Step 2. STARBUCKS!!!! (take the edge off, how about a Pumpkin Spice Latte)

 

 

Step 3. Get in, buckle up and shut the... wow that's something else... uh. yeah step 3 calm down figure out your surroundings and plan your next move, always be looking around, people come out of no where (you all know that) plan your next move then... Execute!

 

 

With a few deep breaths and nothing but confidence from the "Selfie King, Ry" We are off and the open road is glorious! Ryan takes charge and conquers the road like nobody's business (I promise there were no small animals injured during this outing). The smell of fresh air, the wind blowing through your hair, A dog!! Ah Watch out!! just kidding...

 

 

"As soon as the truck stopped beautiful women lined the streets with grapes in hand to feed the Prince as he flawlessly nailed his driving session!"

 

 

WAIT! WAIT! What?.... Oh that is how Ry's version of the driving experience went. HAHAHA
