She drove this 101 00:05:27,281 --> 00:05:30,041 Speaker 2: morning to school right because she still needs to get 102 00:05:30,041 --> 00:05:32,441 Speaker 2: her hours up and she said, oh, I like being 103 00:05:32,481 --> 00:05:35,041 Speaker 2: a passenger better than I do being a driver. 104 00:05:35,561 --> 00:05:39,121 Speaker 3: No, we cannot let her get to that because otherwise 105 00:05:39,161 --> 00:05:42,121 Speaker 3: she really will never go for her license. That we 106 00:05:42,161 --> 00:05:43,481 Speaker 3: need her to go for her license. 107 00:05:43,681 --> 00:05:48,721 Speaker 2: Yes, So Holly drove to work and I said, leave 108 00:05:48,761 --> 00:05:50,921 Speaker 2: early because you need to like sus out at the 109 00:05:50,961 --> 00:05:54,281 Speaker 2: parking situation, like always do that because you don't know 110 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,081 Speaker 2: where you're going to park. She gets to work and 111 00:05:57,161 --> 00:06:00,561 Speaker 2: she's there in plenty of time, and she parks and 112 00:06:00,641 --> 00:06:03,881 Speaker 2: she said to me, Mum, I'm like on the line 113 00:06:04,201 --> 00:06:06,481 Speaker 2: and I was like, well, just like go back out 114 00:06:06,561 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 2: and then go back into the space. She was like, 115 00:06:08,721 --> 00:06:10,841 Speaker 2: I can't. She was like freaking out because the car 116 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,361 Speaker 2: park was so busy. She had to wait for a spot, 117 00:06:13,561 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 2: so she had to just go with it. Wasn't a 118 00:06:16,481 --> 00:06:19,561 Speaker 2: case of like there was heaps of bays free. Yeah, 119 00:06:19,761 --> 00:06:22,241 Speaker 2: And so she got all like flustered and she was 120 00:06:22,241 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 2: worried about it. And then she said the guy who 121 00:06:25,601 --> 00:06:28,241 Speaker 2: was coming back to the car next to her wasn't 122 00:06:28,281 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 2: going to be able to get in because she was 123 00:06:30,241 --> 00:06:33,281 Speaker 2: so close to him. Oh yeah, So I said, just 124 00:06:33,361 --> 00:06:36,321 Speaker 2: wind the window down and explain that you've only just 125 00:06:36,361 --> 00:06:38,601 Speaker 2: passed your test and you know you're going to try 126 00:06:38,601 --> 00:06:40,521 Speaker 2: and straighten up. So no, no, no, I don't want 127 00:06:40,521 --> 00:06:43,401 Speaker 2: to say that. Then she calls me back five minutes later, 128 00:06:43,641 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 2: h and she went. The guy came and he got 129 00:06:48,001 --> 00:06:50,161 Speaker 2: into the car, and he found it really difficult because 130 00:06:50,161 --> 00:06:51,561 Speaker 2: I was so close. I was like, what did you 131 00:06:51,561 --> 00:06:54,201 Speaker 2: say something? And she went, no, I just moved into 132 00:06:54,241 --> 00:06:57,561 Speaker 2: the passenger seat. So I looked like I wasn't the driver, 133 00:07:00,241 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 2: So I looked like I was just waiting for my 134 00:07:02,041 --> 00:07:04,361 Speaker 2: bum to come back out. And she'd parked back. 135 00:07:04,521 --> 00:07:06,641 Speaker 3: Oh my god, what did she do? So she just 136 00:07:06,681 --> 00:07:08,321 Speaker 3: sat there and waited for him to go so that 137 00:07:08,361 --> 00:07:08,921 Speaker 3: she could move. 138 00:07:09,121 --> 00:07:11,001 Speaker 2: She left it like that and locked the car and 139 00:07:11,041 --> 00:07:16,361 Speaker 2: went into work. And so then I have then worried 140 00:07:16,361 --> 00:07:18,681 Speaker 2: because she's also in a two hour zone rage and 141 00:07:18,721 --> 00:07:24,001 Speaker 2: she was working for five hours. So, in true helicopter 142 00:07:24,201 --> 00:07:31,281 Speaker 2: parents style, I drove out there and I pulled out 143 00:07:31,321 --> 00:07:36,961 Speaker 2: of the parking space she'd gone head in. In that moment, 144 00:07:37,041 --> 00:07:39,521 Speaker 2: I was just going to straighten up the car and 145 00:07:39,921 --> 00:07:43,481 Speaker 2: check out the two hours situation and see how enforced 146 00:07:43,521 --> 00:07:46,241 Speaker 2: I thought it was going to be. And in that moment, 147 00:07:46,401 --> 00:07:49,201 Speaker 2: I went, oh, when she leaves, it would be so 148 00:07:49,281 --> 00:07:53,401 Speaker 2: much easier for her if it's reverse parked in and 149 00:07:53,761 --> 00:07:57,761 Speaker 2: go out forward. I moved the car around, locked it 150 00:07:57,801 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 2: and left. 151 00:07:59,441 --> 00:08:00,521 Speaker 3: When did she say something? 152 00:08:00,561 --> 00:08:02,281 Speaker 2: She probably walked up to the car and thought. 153 00:08:02,761 --> 00:08:04,561 Speaker 3: Or did you tell her that you'd already done it? 154 00:08:05,201 --> 00:08:06,561 Speaker 3: You would have walked out of the car and gone, 155 00:08:06,761 --> 00:08:12,201 Speaker 3: I'm pretty. 156 00:08:11,881 --> 00:08:14,841 Speaker 2: Sure I went in front. This is wild. What are 157 00:08:14,841 --> 00:08:16,881 Speaker 2: you going to do when you can't get to it? Yeah, 158 00:08:17,081 --> 00:08:19,761 Speaker 2: I'm just going to feel like it. She's never gonna 159 00:08:20,081 --> 00:08:23,681 Speaker 2: let go. How did you learn? Yeah? Why wouldn't come 160 00:08:23,721 --> 00:08:25,361 Speaker 2: and move you all? 161 00:08:24,401 --> 00:08:24,441 Speaker 3: No? 162 00:08:25,681 --> 00:08:27,961 Speaker 2: And I remember the first time I drove into work 163 00:08:28,121 --> 00:08:31,041 Speaker 2: and I drove straight into the fence. I went into 164 00:08:31,161 --> 00:08:32,881 Speaker 2: park and drive straight into a fence. 165 00:08:33,001 --> 00:08:37,761 Speaker 3: Okay, all right? Learn quickly after that that you won't 166 00:08:37,761 --> 00:08:38,241 Speaker 3: do it again. 167 00:08:38,321 --> 00:08:40,161 Speaker 2: No, I didn't ever drive into a fence. 168 00:08:39,961 --> 00:08:42,961 Speaker 3: Again exactly, So I think they have to learn. Yeah, 169 00:08:43,001 --> 00:08:45,241 Speaker 3: they're going to get the confidence with it. They can't 170 00:08:45,241 --> 00:08:47,281 Speaker 3: wait for you to come and move their car every lunchtime. 171 00:08:48,001 --> 00:08:48,321 Speaker 2: Katie. 172 00:08:48,761 --> 00:08:51,041 Speaker 3: We need to work on this.
