Driving test

Today is a big day for me.  After taking several lessons at the S.P. Driving School, I am now ready to take my final driving test.

"Nooooooow iiiiiit's tiiiiiime fooooor paraaaaaalleeeeeel paaaaarking," said Ooogie.  My paws became cold and clammy, my eyes wide with fear.  Bearallel parking has always been a challenge for me.

I lined up the car next to the parking space.


I backed in slowly.


I turned the wheel.


I tried to straighten out.


But the car was all out of whack.


"Tryyyyy agaaaaain," said Ooogie.

I wiped away the sweat from my forehead.  I beary much wanted to pass this driving test.


I tried backing in again but cut in too soon.


I ended up parking backwards.

"Huuuuuuuuuuuh...?" said Ooogie.  "Wroooooong waaaay."


''I'll never pass!" I said, beary frustrated.

"Iiiiiit's oooookay."   Ooogie patted me on the back.  "I haaaaave aaaaaaan iiiiideaa.   Waaaaait heeeeree.  I'll beeeeee riiiight baaaaaack."


So I waited.  I waited for quite some time.


But always true to his word, eventually Ooogie came back... with 2 honey jars.


''Ooogie, what are you doing with those 2 honey jars?" I asked.

I looked on in amazement as he positioned them on the ground.


He got back in the car.

"Aiiiiiim fooooor the hooooooney," he said.

"Okay, I think I can do that," I said.


I backed in slowly and turned the wheel.


Then I straightened out the car.  It was easy aiming for the honey.

"Peeeeerfeeeeect," said Ooogie.


I sighed in relief.

"Coooongraaaaatuuuuulaaaaatiionss Ajdin.  Youuuuuu paaaaasssed theeeee driiiiiving teeeeest."

"Thanks Ooogie!  You were a great teacher."

I can't wait to drive on my own!

  1. Congratulations Ajdin! Where are you going to go for your first solo driving trip? Make sure to pack some honey and cookies in the trunk of the car (just in case).

  4. Err... Ajdin... have you checked your tire pressure? The rear driver-side tire looked a bit low in that last picture. And your car actually looks a bit bow-legged - makes we wonder if your tires are aligned properly.

    2. Well, yes... beary observant... that's how I scope out all the best blackberries. Alas, no car for me... and my experience with a boat left much to be desired.
