Today I realized that I’ll be old enough to get my learner’s permit soon, so I asked my owner if I could get in the driver’s seat just to get a feel for things.
I usually ride in the back, so this is really different. Wow, those pedals are far away! One’s gas and the other is breaks. Wonder why you would have a pedal to break things?
I think you use this round thing to steer. Feels pretty good!
He began to explain all the buttons and gauges and I began to get nervous, as evidenced by the length of my tongue. How am I gonna remember all this stuff?
I took a deep breath and remembered a saying, “Learn by doing.” I closed the door, told my owner to get in the passenger seat, and asked for the keys. He seemed reluctant. “Baby steps,” he said. “That’s enough for today.”
Darn!
