Yeah, that is right. I don’t have a drivers license, not becuase I can’t drive but I just never needed one. I thought it was time to get one though so I took the classes.

Lone Star Driving School, two blocks from where I grew up and where two of my brothers went for their classes. I get in their Tuesday and meet Mr.D with his golfers cap and jump suit, all in thick black velvet. Then in walks Mr.Tucker who I had spoken to on the phone. After I wrote down all of my information he told me it would “Behoooooove” me to sit in front of the poster with street signs. He might have used more “ooo” than I did just there. I obliged and did so. He started teaching right away as I had arrived at 6:00PM. “This is the most important sign you yourself will use” he said as he flicked us off. “When you start driving with Mr.Tucker, yer gonna get that sign a lot becuase the car will say ‘Student Driver’. Just return the favor.” Of course I was laughing, as he was convinced that more than my horn or double tapping my highbeams, the classic bird would accomplish more.

Class goes on and he calls on this girl by the name of Selina. He asks her very straight forward question that she got right, barely too. Forgot to mention, I am the oldest student in the class and the others are high school sophmores and juniors. That should say enough. Then Mr.D starts rambling about Selina (Click it to hear one of her songs), not the loosely natured girl in the class but the famous Texan cumbia singer who was shot and killed in the 90’s. “I remember ths students coming into class crying becuase Selina had died. I was like ‘Who the hell is Selina,’ I know now who she is. Do y’all know who she was?” He went on like this for a good ten minutes.

I had two more classes then I got my certificate to take to the DMV. All three of the classes were the same except one that I wish I could write about but it’s a bit inappropriate. For those with great with wandering imaginations it has to do with driving and the red district. They were just joking about it, Thank God.
