Alex is now an official driver in the state of Colorado...

Last week Alex took his driver's license test. I haven't posted much about this process (even though I have some great stories) as Alex embarrasses easily. Does that stop me? Well, usually... no. This time I didn't want to mess him up as he practiced by worrying whether I would post everything he did wrong. (Please note: The test has been passed and I will eventually have to write about some of them. Honestly, the boys scared me at first.)

So what happened during the exam?
I'm so glad you asked...
Alex's license stipulates that he must wear his glasses whenever he is driving.
When practicing he NEVER forgot.

Though halfway through his driver's exam, he realized he did not have them on.
hmmmm... what to do...
Even though he knew it would probably fail him, he put his turn signal on, pulled over to the side of the road and told the examiner, "I have to tell you sir that I'm driving illegally. I am supposed to be wearing my glasses." He then adds, "I probably just failed, huh?"

The examiner told him not to think like that and that he could finish the test.
Not only did he finish... he passed.

hmmm... guess it's about time I get my Colorado ID too, eh?
