Watch Out For That Grill

"Dad, I can't do it."

"Yes you can. Use your mirrors."

When learning to drive, my dad taught me to back up the car by backing up into camping spaces. I usually had to try multiple times to get in straight and looking back, I'm pretty sure no one else's dad took his child to the woods to learn to drive.

As I whipped out of my driveway in reverse the other day, I thought that maybe, just maybe dad's campground driver's ed was useful.

Oh the simplicity of back roads, a state park, and dad in the passenger's seat.
