...at the one (Thai) restaurant where I work now:
Like I always do with the school-age kids of various people, I ask them how their school-day was and what was the best part about it, and the (middle-of-the-three) (Thai-American) (early high school-age) daughter of the owners said that that day she had gotten to drive again, as part of her driver's ed lessons.
"Oh my gosh!", I was like, "So you're going to be a holy terror on the road?"
"Yeah," she was like, demurely laughing.
I then told her that she probably thought a driver's license would bring her freedom, but instead she'd probably just end up having her parents make her make deliveries for the restaurant.
"Maybe!", she was like.
"Yes," I was like, "You'll have your driver's license, but then you'll be like, 'Oh man, I had more freedom and more fun before, when I didn't have this thing!'"
