A Little More on Teen Driving

As an ongoing service to YA writers who may not have the opportunity to teach a teen to drive, I offer yet another car conversation.

Me: Slow down for that turn.
(Jeremy reduces his speed, executes the corner beautifully, but hits one of Michigan's ubiquitous potholes.)
Jeremy: See what happened?
Me: You were supposed to slow down and miss the pothole.
Jeremy: I'm not that much of a ninja.

There's a family at my sons' TaeKwonDo studio that has quintuplets. In a few years, they will all have learner's permits. I sort of feel like I can't complain. And think about their auto insurance with 5 teen drivers.
