Caz is off on his first drive with the Driver' Ed instructor. He and 2 other boys will be taking turns terrorizing the streets of Duxbury for the next couple of hours. Sure, I have already driven numerous hours with him. But this is still a notable first. This is making it real. My son will be driving soon. And I thought learning to walk was a game changer.
This opens up a whole new world. All new worries. All new decisions. All new rules. We have already talked to him about his friends, who can drive. We had hypothesized different dangerous and potentially embarrassing scenarios. We made the verbal contract with him to pick him up, no questions asked, if he calls for a ride home. You have to have these talks. More always follow. And that is a good thing. If you ignore it, you do so at your own peril. Nothing should be taboo.
