Driving School

She wanted to drive her grandpa's old Ford. What could she hurt? I mean, sure, she could have bucked her dad off the trailer, or ran over a bale, or made us run to catch up to her... But she didn't.

She got behind the wheel of that old diesel pickup, where she could barely see over the steering wheel, and weaved that sucker between the bales. She looked in her mirrors like she'd done it a hundred times. Proof that kids are always watching, especially when you think they are ignoring you the most.

Don't blink. One day you're changing diapers and rocking babies in your arms, and the next they are learning how to drive in the hay field. Time is both a thief and a blessing.
