She told me about when she learned to drive, she taught herself on an old model "T" that her dad had bought. Her dad would go to work, and she would ask her mom if she could drive up down the street. Her mom told okay, but she needed to make sure she parked it back the way he had it. One Saturday, when he wanted to go into town, he told my grandmother to run to her cousin's house and get him so he could drive them into town. Well, she told him she could do it, and he didn't believe her, until her mother came out and told him she had been practicing with his car every day while he was at work. She still had to go get her cousin, but he let her drive, and after that, anytime they need something from town, she would take him.
