One of the advantages of the summer at the Good Doctor's home is that the house is relatively empty, so the unlucky child who remains at home with the old folks gets lots of attention.
Good or bad.
The truth is, the child currently at home, my older daughter, is a pleasure to have around ( mostly). However, she is learning to drive, ( hence the name Ace, also for her academic achievements.) and this is scary. Without Boo around, who we don't like to terrorize by having her older sister practice, we have run out of excuses to not let her drive, and the usual standbys ( "its day" "its night" "its raining" "its sunny" ) are just not cutting it anymore. So off she goes, behind the wheel of a 3,000 pound weapon, blissfully enjoying her new found freedom while Lovey and I, whoever has the (mis)fortune to be with her, alternately cringing or crying out in sheer fear as trucks, buses and other assorted vehicles careen towards her.
You see, Ace believes that she has the right of way. Always.
Perhaps we should get her some lessons while we still have colored hair.

You have two drivers already, and yet your hair remains black. I'd doubt if this particular child would be the one to turn it grey.
Perhaps the perpetrators of 110 miles an hour will change the pigmentation!
I agree with FBB it seems you have more to worry about in the driving department than your novice driver who always has an adult with her!!!
