So, That Happened

Is it too soon for this?

It's too soon for that.

Despite the fact that I was granted my very own driver's license on my 14th birthday (Yes ... FOURTEENTH. Gotta love living in the sticks in North Dakota.), I somehow think it is physically impossible that enough years have passed for that particular child to be allowed to operate a motor vehicle without supervision.

Alas.

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania disagrees with me. They think she's perfectly ready to just plow through the air in a 4000 pound hunk of metal and plastic. The only - and I do mean ONLY - reason I'm on board with letting infants drive is that once that kid has her own car, she will be able to drive herself to dance and THEN WHAT WILL I DO WITH MYSELF OMG?

I have spent the past several years acting as Alexis' full-time chaueffer. I literally have driven 30,000 miles in the past year, most of them taking her places. I'm about to have a whole lot of time on my hands. (Shhhh... we're ignoring the part where Mila still needs to be taken places. She's less ... EVERYTHING than Alexis.)

The good/bad news is that Alexis seemed to have gotten the idea that a car would just magically fall out of the sky and land in her parking spot in the driveway. Which hahahahahalololololzzzznoooo. She is going to have to save up some money and at least pay the down payment. That shouldn't be an issue considering she's had a job for a year and a half, but some people spend more at Sephora in one stop than I have in my entire life SO.

Ahem.

I'll let you know when Alexis figures out how to prioritize her spending a bit more so you know to stay off the roads. It's going to get wild out there.
