The title alone should scare you. That's right, I am exercising my rights as a big brother and teaching my little sister how to drive. Why me? Well, the answer is quite simple. My dad's jeep is a piece a junk and my mom...well, she's a mom. So the only solace my sister has at this point in time is me. Ironic, isn't it? There were times where she didn't want anything to do with me...but the tables have turned, heh. I don't mind it. It'll sharpen her driving skills as well as my teaching skills and yes, things are being sharpened.
Why am I so willing to put my car under such grueling treatment? I don't know why, to be honest. I know the worst thing I ever did with my dad's jeep was drive too close to low-hanging branches. Every new driver has their "Permit stories." I'd hate for my sister to have a permit story at the expense of my car...sigh.
At any rate, Lauren will learn more and more after each session: vehicle placement, speed, turning. My only prayer is that me, Lauren, and my car will all remain alive and kicking when all this is said and done.
Sigh...

You're a brave soul. I have yet to let Chandler drive my car. Especially after he was driving the truck Friday night and almost got both of us killed. He turned into oncoming traffic. AAHHH!! I was scared out of my mind, but luckily there was a break in the median. God is good though, and he kept us safe. I'm sure Lauren will do fine though, with a good teacher such as yourself. ;)
