How far does the apple fall?!

There are literally 2 things I need to do to complete my life in a conventional sense - get a full time job and get a driver's licence.

Since ASid turned 16 in August, some people have casually remarked that he will get a driver's licence and a job before I do! I tend to have a positive perspective on most things and I take those comments to mean that ASid is on his way!

Craigley's biggest nightmare is that he will be driving the 3 of us for the rest of his life. So, he has been looking forward to ASid turning 16 and getting his driver's licence. Obviously, Craigley has given up hope on me ever getting there. I do not blame the poor man. I am rather slow in getting to some goals. And it appears like ASid is not in any rush to get his DL as well.

ASid is a seasoned TTC veteran at the very young age of 16. He loves that he can read a book or watch a video while someone safely takes him from point A to point B. In fact, I believe he recently wrote an entire essay about the TTC and it almost read like a love story. So proud of that boy!

And this is what Craigley has to say these days, "That boy is your son!" Yes, he is! Craigley is almost ready to give up hope on the boy as well. There are 11 days left in this year. Would the boy deliver a sweet present to his hapless dad or would he continue to torture him into the New Year?! Only time will tell.

It is interesting that ASid is waiting this long. At the age of 2, he could identify most every make and model of cars on the highways and in the parking lots. One of his first alphabet books was a custom book put together by my brother where each letter of the alphabet corresponded to a car company. So, ASid was obsessed with cars at one point in his life. And there are people wanting to buy him his first car and yet, the boy is taking his time...

...the apple sure doesn't fall too far from the tree.

But for once, I want the apple to roll far far away from the tree! But then again, it is really up to the apple!
