Entry #7: First Lines

This First Lines entry is a second entry submitted by Debbie Roome:

I failed my driving test four times. That was years ago and each time it was for silly little things. My biggest mistake was telling my offspring. As they moved into their teens, the subject popped up with embarrassing regularity and every error was pounced on. A hesitation, an amber light, a wrong choice of lane were all opportunities to laugh at mother.
