Teaching My Sister How To Drive

IT IS TERRIFYING

Teaching My Sister How To Drive
Grown and Flown

While being back home there is one question my little sister keeps asking me...

"Megan, can we go driving? I want to drive."

My sister recently got her permit, and now loves to drive around just learning. So as her older sister, she begged and pleaded for me to take her driving. So how can I say no to that?

So while back home, I have been taking her driving a lot, which has probably been the most terrifying experience in my life.

My dad has taught my sister how to drive for the most part, granted she still has a problem with turns and slamming on the breaks. The one thing my dad didn't get to teach her yet, is how to parallel park.

First off, I can't begin to tell you how much I despise parallel parking. So teaching someone how to do it, wow. Not the easiest thing in the world.

She would get mad at me for turning and invisible wheel while she would try to park, and I would get mad at her when she magically ended up in the middle of the street instead of parking the car.

Her other weakness is the possibility of children being on the sidewalk. Anytime there is a possiblity of a child of coming a foot near the road, my sister drives 5 miles per hour.

I could go on and on about how weird her driving habits are and all the fights and yelling that happen in the car because she didn't stop fully. But the end of the day there is one thing that I will always go back to when she struggles pulling into the garage. When she looks back, she will remember the times her big sister took her driving.

Living across the country, I miss a lot of my little sisters life, so having these memories to share with her, is really important to me and special.


So Kelsey, if you are reading this (which you better be), although I may complain, and I may not be the best big sister at the time, I really love hanging out with you and taking you driving.

But don't let that get to your head.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
