A Few Short Years...

It occurred to me yesterday that my oldest son is only a couple of years away from being old enough to drive. This seems a bit unbelievable since we just started leaving him home alone for short periods of time. My hope is that he doesn't show an interest in driving for a long time. His sense of direction is not that great which makes me thankful for  gps vehicle tracking devices. The idea of him behind the wheel is a bit overwhelming. Maybe he will mature over the next few years and my opinion will change. I can understand why my parents didn't let me get a driver's license until I was 18 years old. They were in all likelihood protecting me from myself.
