Baby you can drive my car
Yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you
Beep beep'm beep beep yeah - Beatles

No Bs no Keys! yes i said NO Bs NO KEYS... that doesn't mean you tried to get good grades that means when I look at School Loop (School Progress report App) it shows nothing lower than Bs for each subject. Here we go with teen number 2....

Kid: "So how am I going to learn to drive"
Me: "You have 1 week before you can get a permit"
Kid: "But what car will I drive?"
Me: "I'll teach you how to drive in my car but you need Bs before you will be able to borrow my car"
Kid: "I don't get it, how will I take my driver test if I can't drive your car?"
Me: "You are not listening... but if you are worried, just study"
Kid: "What if I can't, its hard!"  
Me: "Study, Study Study, that doesn't mean just do your homework that means give up TV time and do more!"
Kid: "You are so annoying, and such a $#%@#" (he mumbles)
Me: "Yup!"

He has all the tools to succeed but will he use them. The hardest thing as a parent it to let them fail and see if they can pick themselves up. If he can't do it at 15 how will he do it as an adult.
