guess who passed his driving test last night!?!?!?!
BRENDAN!
at 4:00 yesterday afternoon, my dad picked up b and they went to the drive test place. it was dusk by the time he did his test (when he booked it months ago, it didn't occur to us that the sun would have set by 4:40), but he drove around for 15 minutes, parked on a hill, parallel parked, and dazzled the evaluator. the only slipped up once - did a rolling stop (which both my dad and i have been on his case about). but the guy didn't hold it against him because he aced the rest of it. he did great. i was so proud :)
i'm super grateful that my dad took the time to teach b how to drive. my dad's a good teacher. i knew it would bode well. it was also a great chance for b and my dad to get to know each other better. b really likes my dad, he's highly entertaining because he's so quirky and doesn't take himself too seriously. my dad has pretty much no inhibitions.
the three of us went to wendy's afterwards for a celebratory burger. we figured if he failed it would be a good consolation prize, but it was much more enjoyable that he passed. now he's just got to get more comfortable with driving stick and he'll be able to go out on his own :)
i'm really happy. i feel like brendan's really blooming.
