How my husband thought me how to drive, read and laugh along with me, it was a mixed feeling kind of because there was no formal discussion about it, he just came in from work one day and said ,
"tomorrow i will take you to the field to learn how to drive," reason being that he wants me to take it very serious and as a duty, not as fun as i would have.
Hello my good people of comedy community, how are you all doing, it's good to be in this community that helps to cure strees, bitterness and loneliness.
I was thought how to drive by my husband in an unexpected way but afterwards I began to enjoy it and it has helped me drive anywhere I see myself, no fears or any kind of intimidations from any angle.
Few months after our wedding,one day my husband came in from work and said get ready I'm going to teach you how to drive tomorrow, Immediately, I became terribly afraid, worried, anxious and also excited. The day came up we set out to a very big field at Amuwo odofin field near Festac town in Lagos state Nigeria, my family was living in Lagos then.
I learned driving with a Honda Accord one door manual car, before now I had never in my life drove any car or motorcycle, as we got there he took time to teach me the work of all the organs of the car, the stirring, the clutch, he showed me gear and how to select them for a start, slow movements, speed, he showed me how to reverse another day, he showed me the brake, accelerator, fuel tank the dash board, the ignation and the key., he said to me put-on the ignation key and start the engine, i did,
place your left leg on the break and your right leg on the accelerator, I did as he asked me to do, he now said clutch down and start releasing your leg slowly and press your right leg on the accelerator gradually I did, at this time, the car started moving gradually, I drove the car round the field so many times with him seated at the other side of the car watching me do it.
At this juncture I'm calming down, being happy and relaxed in my heart, hee hee , so I can drive? was the question in my heart, we kept driving running round and round the big field, when I got tired I told him let's go home, thinking he will drive us home, he insisted I must be the one to drive the car home, I became extremely freigtened, afraid, and a kind of confused because I have reasoned how busy roads are including the intimidating approaches of other cars, trailers, long tankers, tippers, Lagos commuter's bus called Moluwe all these apply same road he wants me to drive on it ? won't they collide with me and cause us having accident?
All these sights and thoughts filled my heart, I begged him to please drive the car since that was my first class learning how to drive, Omo, this man refused ooooooo, I then agreed to drive, we started moving, I applied all the methods he taught me the car moved, I was moving gradually with fear still in my heart while he relaxed on his seat by my side watching me do it, he even refused telling me what and what to do again, God helped me we were moving.
The Big Bangs are here 馃槄馃槄馃槄 oooo
This time I saw an uncoming big lorry, hee hee, I felt like it was coming to collide with me on that high speed, immediately I stopped the car ooo 馃槀馃槀 at the middle of the road opened the car door and jumped out, my husband was literally confused, he started yelling at me nooo, nooo this is very dengerous, come back and drive, I went and stood by the road side, he now immediately entered drove the car by the road side. we rested there for sometime he still insisted I should keep driving till we get home, after some argument, I started driving again.
Remember, I was learning in the field, I have never drove by any bending or gutter before, as we got closer to our street, there was a big gutter and a convent to cross over, as I was driving closer, I did not bend very well, all I noticed was both ourselves and the car fell into the gutter, I screamed, we were stocked inside the car inside the gutter, this is our neighborhood, people screamed and rushed to us in that gutter but thank God there was no water in the gutter, some were laughing other were sorry for us.
Everybody tried and we came out, they also brought another car tied rope at the boat area of our own car connected to the other car and started pulling our car out from the gutter, it took so much time to do and the car finally came out from the gutter.....heh hee, thank God we didn't sustain injury, but the front bumper bent and was scratched, we never mind as we got home, we took some Panadol tables that night and bathed hot water.馃槀馃槀馃槀, that was how my husband persuaded me to learn how to drive a car, few days later, he drove it a mechanic for repairs.
Conclusion,
Ever since that experience, I kept practicing driving gradually mostly on weekends till I was perfect, I could drive to wherever, I can manuaver any hodules on the road for many years now, driving has become a beautiful skill for me, that's to say situations are not really tough as the seem in the beginning, I'm glad he insisted on my learning it then.
I want to thank every leader in this community, your initiative has made so many people restored to joy and gladness after reading people's funny contents here, many have come out of depressions and bitterness of heart, thank you again.
This is my first content in this beautiful community warranted by the humourous posts I have been reading and commenting in here which had made me laugh severally, i decided to drop mine so you people can also laugh after seeing what i went through learning how to drive. Though I'm now enjoying it....馃槀
