They gave her her beginner's drivers license. She struggled to pass her written test, however. It took her three tries. And she'd been studying hard for it. Of course, for Amy, any studying is considered "studying hard" unless she's studying Justin Bieber lyrics or inane text messages from nigh-on-equally dense friends. After failing the written test twice, she finally got her beginner's license.
Due to some mild congenital palsy in her right hand, she has some restrictions (she isn't allowed to drive manual transmission, for example), and they suggested a brodie knob that attaches to the steering wheel to aid in steering. To this Amy responded: "I'm not using that! I'll look like a loser!"
The real kicker is that Amy doesn't really card about driving because "boys are supposed to drive me places". She simply wants a photo ID so she can get into the clubs since her 18th birthday is coming up. She's upset that because she postponed getting her license so long that the photo ID won't arrive for 4 weeks and she's stuck with a temporary license until then. Her birthday is in 2 weeks. She's been hounding me to help her figure out a way to get into clubs for her birthday. "What if I show them this temporary license and my high school ID picture. They both have my name on it. The student ID has my picture, and the license has my birthday. That should work, right? Right?!"
I just laughed and walked away.
