Just like riding a bike, right?

My six-year-old niece asked me the other day if I knew how to drive.

I explained to her that I don't drive because I am legally blind.

"Yeah, I get that," Ainsley said. "But do you KNOW HOW TO drive?"


I told her that technically, yes, I did know how to drive. When I could see, I used to drive. I had a driver's license, I even drove a manual transmission.

She shook her head. She didn't know what a manual transmission was, nor did she care about that right now.

Ainsley just wanted to know if I knew how to drive AND if I would teach her when she got older.

I thought about it for a moment.


Absolutely. I will teach you how to drive, Ainsley.
