I can remember being 12-years-old and wanting nothing more than to drive a car. I had friends and cousins my age whose parents would let them pull their cars out the driveway, or ride a short distance to the grocery store.
My parents considered it a priviledge to let me start up the car to warm the engine when it was cold outside. I would say to myself "everyone else's parents are cool and mine don't trust me to do anything."
But watching this tragic video about a 12-year-old boy who accidentally ran over and killed his mother makes me think perhaps my parents are wiser than I gave them credit for.
