Mom and I both thought it would be a very step-fatherly like thing for me to be the chief instructor. Item No. 1: On the first day I took them on the highway, the younger hit a bunch of orange center median marking pylons on the curve just after the tollbooth on NY Thruway Exit 23. Must be a thing about orange pylons... Item No. 2: On road test day, the older went first. The examiner offered to let me sit in the back seat as long as I was silent. At the end of the first block she ran a stop sign. I sat out the younger's test (after having injured my tongue biting it as the stop sign was run). By the way -- the examiner passed *both* of them!
