All Erickson children are trained, from a very young age, to drive in REVERSE.
Huh?
What’s that?
“Reverse,” did you say?
You’re damn right, I did.
When somebody’s in a pinch, is it more useful to know how to drive backwards or how to drive forwards?
Let me tell you—going forwards is the easy part. Going backwards, however, proves to be quite the challenge for most people, though NOT for the Erickson children, fortunately.
My siblings and me (that’s right—“me” is correct here, not “I.” Look it up, bozo) were all taught to drive backwards before we were taught to drive forwards. I won’t specify the age at which we were taught, however, for legal reasons.
As a result, we’re so skilled at driving in reverse that we can back into any parking space with less than an inch on either side of the car, though I suppose this would not be useful without a sunroof to exit the car through.
We can also drive in reverse at extremely high rates of speed, whenever necessary (though it’s almost never “necessary”).
If there were to be a “Fury Road” apocalypse type-situation and I was able to choose who was behind the wheel of my car, I would truly choose myself or any one of my siblings to drive before I chose a professional Secret Service driver, whose only job is to be a professional driver in life-threatening situations.
All Erickson children, I included (this is grammatically correct, too; Google it, bozo), are likely the most elite drivers in the world.
Until next time,
