I survived an hour in the car with Maggie driving!

We went to my grandparents house today, and my 15 year old sister, who has only driven four times in her entire driving career drove the whole way. (It is one hour away). She actually did pretty well (okay, very well. Better than I did when I first got my permit.) She can already back out of the flat driveway, and the giant hill driveway without dying.

 It was a pretty normal drive, except for that one time she almost ran into the back of an eighteen wheeler, and the other time she gave me whiplash at the red light. We even stopped by Kroger, and she parked without hitting any cars. (that's more than I can say for myself...) I am so proud!The best part? The little stories my dad makes up while she is driving. 
On the main road : "Don't get so close to that motorcycle! Agh! You just him him. There is blood everywhere and his guts are coming out of his nose!"
On the back roads: " Don't get to close to the side! If you get too far over we will crash into a ditch, roll ten times, hit a tree and die. Then the buzzards will come pluck our eyes out!"

On the plus side, we made it there safely... But it made for a very interesting drive. :)
