Good Intentions

When I agreed to this deal years ago, I had good intentions.

I’d share my wisdom, provide gentle yet firm guidance, and save money.

My good intentions flew out the window after twenty minutes.

I was weak. I lost my cool, took over, then begged to be let out for a snack.

Once I finished the chocolate bar and felt Zen, I knocked on the locked door.

“Sara, I’m sorry that I screamed at you and took the wheel. Please let me in, I won’t do it again, I promise.”

My wife was right, our daughter deserves “real” driving lessons.
