Dear Jack,

As you start your summer off working at Nonna and Papa’s house, you are also getting free driving lessons from Papa. Now that you have your learner’s permit, Papa sits in the passenger seat as you take the steering wheel.

You are in a situation where you get to go back and forth between easy mode and hard mode:

Their older Ford Escape is a good easy car to practice with. As you get bored with that, you then switch over to your Mazda Miata, which is definitely more challenging since it is a stick shift.

This is a perfect way for you to get solid practice driving this summer!

Love,

Daddy
