My first time was with my mom’s boyfriend as is fitting for growing up in liberal California. Jimmy’s was with his sister as is normal in the South. My sister’s was with my mom and involved a tree, which was definitely a memorable first time. Most of us don’t forget our first time--our first time behind the wheel, that is.
Jimmy decided this vacation was a good opportunity to get 11-year-old Veronica behind the wheel for the first time. She’s unlikely to ever forget it. The car might be a clunker and totally forgettable, but the setting is definitely memorable. She didn’t have to learn how to use the choke, but did learn how to shift into 2nd and even 3rd (although I don’t want to know how she got the speed up for that here.) Although she looks so short she can barely see over the steering wheel, at 5’3” she had no problem reaching the pedals.
