Two days from now my \u201cbaby\u201d will turn 16 and I am sending out a warning to all who live in Columbus \u2013 the boy is taking his driver\u2019s test on Wednesday \u2013 clear the sidewalks!&#160; <\/p>\n<p>I have to share that no one in my immediate family passed their driver\u2019s test the first time around.&#160; I pray that this curse does not extend to Jon!&#160; Both of my parents, myself and my sister all failed for one reason or another the first time around.&#160; I did great on the maneuverability portion of my test.&#160; During the driving portion, I went through a yellow light and it turned red, so I failed.&#160; If I would have stopped, the car behind me would most likely have hit me, which would also have caused me to fail.&#160; When I went to retake my test, the instructor asked me why I failed the first time around, because he saw no reason for me not to have passed.&#160; I explained what had happened and he said he wouldn\u2019t have failed me.&#160; Too bad he wasn\u2019t the instructor in the car at the time, right?&#160; <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.glutenfreeislife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/IMG_1176.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none;
