As I drive my fingernails into the dashboard,
riding along with teen drivers,
these lines spring to mind.
L.A.N.
.
My teenagers teach me a ton,
Particularly on the run.
They learn to drive,
Arrive alive
And love to have me ride shotgun.
.
Along the way, I have to say,
I learn to drive from them each day.
Like up the wall
And crazy, y'all
And true hard bargains on display.
.
But none can drive a wedge between
A parent and a growing teen.
Just hand those keys -
Now, if you please,
Along with green for gasoline.
.
Still, batty they may drive me yet,
For this may be a constant threat.
They drive me wild,
And make me riled;
These driving years I won't forget.

Post a CommentSo true so true, I am reliving the experience of the days my own were learing to drive through my Grand daughter. It got better, guess it is because I am not the one trying to teach.
