Yesterday, while I was driving, the though occurred to me that in just 3.5 years, my oldest could have her learner's permit. Ack! The next thought that came to was, "but she's so small!". I realize that my dd has a lot of growing to do in the next 3.5 years, but she's about 50 pounds lighter and a foot shorter than the kids her age at church. (When they all stand up together, my dd looks like a toothpick munchkin.) Then, I remembered taking my driving test, while sitting on a thick phonebook with a couch pillow on top. I drove one of those '80s cars with a super long front end. Without the boost, I couldn't see past my car's front end. I think it would have been better (and safer) to just sit in a booster. I would have fit in one back then, before my childbearing years.
Would it really be that bad to take the driving test sitting in a booster? So far, my 12 year old would rather ride in a booster than not. She says she feels short without and since she gets car sick, I'd rather she have a great view of the road.
