No i don’t expect you to pay for a three minute lesson. Just the repairs for the car.

Mom was my driving instructor. We lived in the country, but I had to wait till I was 10 to learn to drive. We would practice driving around the house, past the grain bins and then I had to be sure to stop at the gravel road to check if there was any traffic (there never was), before proceeding.

“Not my fault. They built the road too close to the ditch.”

No, ma’am. There must be a defect in the car…

Obvious, she signed up for the wrong course. The sign clearly states: Iving School Why did she think a school that teaches about planting ivy would be able to instruct her in operating a car?

“Tell you what — you promise never to darken the doors of my driving school again, and we’ll call it even.”
