Slapping Some Irony Down for a Story
By Jonathan | October 7, 2008 at 8:46 pm
For the past couple months there has been a kid down the street practicing the maneuverability portion of the driver’s ed test in his driveway. I’m talking about cones and the whole bit here. From time to time Abi and I would be on a walk and would see the kid…we generally switched from the sidewalk to the street real quick just in case he wasn’t looking. Anyways, it had been weeks and weeks and Abi and I were starting to wonder if that kid would ever take the test (or pass it, for that matter).
The other day we left our house and were headed down the street. All of the sudden some car backed out of a driveway, clearly not looking for oncoming traffic. I calmly hit the brakes and slowed to avoid a collision, only to realize it was the kid that had been practicing maneuverability with cones in his driveway for the past couple months…
He must have nailed that part, but skimmed by on the IMPORTANT aspects of driving (like not running into other cars). Oh well, at least he wasn’t headed the same direction that we were!

You know what you should have done, is beat that kid up…right in front of his girlfriend.
