Soon I can get my regular interweb life back on track!~
So I just got my learners permit (and in two months Ill be old enough to get my license, haha) and my parental units and I were heading over to my brothers place for Thanksgiving and I got a turn to drive. My turn lasted two hours.
The first hour was a breeze and went by in no time. Parent #1, who was sitting in the passenger seat, would make discreet hand motions when I needed to slow down, switch lanes, or back off a little from the person in front of me. Parent #2 was busy yacking away on the cell phone.
Then they got off and started scrutinizing (more like freaking out at) every little thing I was doing. This is pretty much how it went down between the three of us (and miraculously, I was able to keep complete control of the car):
Parent #2: OHMIGAWD YOURE GOING TOO FAST; SLOW DOWN!!!!
Parent #1: No shes not, shes doing fine.
Parent #2: YOURE TAILGATING!
Parent #1: No shes not, dear.
Me: I havent gotten closer than two seconds of the car in front of me
Parent #2: WERE GOING TO GET PULLED OVER! ARE THOSE FLASHING LIGHTS UP AHEAD? OHMIGAWD, WERE GOING TO GO TO JAIL!
Parent #1: Dont listen to your mom, Kitty; youre doing wonderful for your first time on such a big interstate.
Me: Thank you
Parent #2: IM SORRY, GAWD! I SHOULD HAVE NEVER LET HER GET HER PERMIT!
Parent #1 and Me: What is wrong with you?
Parent #2: WHY DO YOU KEEP TAKING ONE HAND OFF THE WHEEL?!
Me: Because youre making me nervous and my hands are getting sweaty
Parent #2: THATS IT, PULL OVER ON THE NEXT EXIT!
Parent #1: How about some music?
Me: That would be lovely, thank you.
Thats really how it went down. Driving had never been so exhausting to me before.
I think the best part about this trip so far is that I got a chance to work on my fan fictions (and these amazing sour gummy eggs I bought at a gas station)
