Yesterday my first born turned 16 and while all boys and some girls on their 16th have only one thing on their mind – getting their driver’s licence – it didn’t even hit her radar.
My older brother was in charge of “teaching” me how to drive – for him this meant pushing his foot on top of mine on the gas pedal and flooring it- “Nance, you gotta know a car’s full power”. It was a wood panelled station wagon that seemed to go on for a block. Turbo.
He turned to the birthday girl and offered to teach her ” assuming you are like the rest of the women in our family and think R stands for Race?”

Wow having a child turn 16!! I feel so far away from that but at the same time I know it is going to feel like a blink of the eye and it will be mine!!
