Teaching a 17 year old boy to drive is always an adventure. Eric has 15 hours of time flying and airplane. When he only had a couple of hours driving we were on the freeway headed to Home Depot. I said, “Eric, what does the altimeter say?” He stared down at the instrument panel with a slightly confused look trying to find the altimeter. Today was blazing hot and I asked Eric to turn on the air conditioning. He turned the fan up to three and thought all was well. I asked him to push the button with the snowflake on it. He asked why. My response was, so that we get cold air rather than hot air.
A few weeks ago backing out of a driveway, Eric claims that a trash can ran behind the truck. He hit one of those huge city trash cans. It left a dent in the trash can that popped back out soon after. Tonight, he was backing the white truck back into its spot in the garden, Eric claimed that another trash can ran behind the truck. Additionally, he claimed that the trash was from my room so I had to clean it up – because it was my trash of course. Needless to say, Eric cleaned up the trash and did a great job parking the truck. Unfortunately, Eric is two for two with trashcans.
