So I gave MC another driving lesson.  This one was a 40 minute drive home from a sleepover.  A long and winding road she had not traveled before.  That’s always fun.  I came to the conclusion that a good fallback job for her would be a driving a street cleaning truck because that chick can hug a curb like a security blanket!  Which is actually much better than the alternative of driving down the center of a two lane road. 

I had to pick the road with the most ruts on the side.  You know, like there’s not a sidewalk in site, just mud and gravel which other cars had veered into previously and left deep ruts.  It was a similar feeling, I suppose, to driving on the edge of a steep cliff with no guardrails.  Only we wouldn’t fall to our death…just ruin a tire or two.  Mainly on the right side.   We didn’t get into any ruts, but I bet no one could possibly have come within in the 1/10 of an inch of the ruts like she can!  That girl has some serious skills! 

It was a great ride home.  All stop signs were seen and abided by this time (yes, even the one’s with the white border around them) and I only almost passed out once when we took a turn at 35 mph and nearly ended up in on coming traffic.   And who says Jeeps roll over easily?  I can tell you first hand, you can take a turn at 35mph, over correct (twice) and NOT roll over.  Whooo Hooo!
