I forgot!

When I was 12 years old my mom and dad used to let me drive the car! I was allowed to drive 2 miles through the city to the store. At first it was only when one of them or my brother was in the car with me. Then when they saw that I knew what I was doing they let me take the car by myself! 

I also remember babysitting for $1.00 per hour when I was 11 and 12 years old. These days parents are still getting babysitters for their  12 year old kids and babysitters are now paid minimum wage!

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
