This week’s prompt MMLM Sunday Writing Prompt is “Driving.“

Driving Test

Based on actual events…

“Did your sister call you?” I asked my mom when I met her in the stairwell for our afternoon walk.

Mom shook her head, “No, why?”

“She called me this morning, asking some very random, weird questions.”

“What kind of questions?”

My brows knitted together, “I couldn’t really understand her. She was whispering.”

“Oh, I think I know what she was calling about.” Mom said when we reached the first floor. “Isn’t she taking her driver license test today? She’s probably calling to ask you for answers.”

“What?” I shrieked. “She can’t do that.”

“Oh, just help her, won’t you?”

“Help her? Doesn’t she know ‘Cheaters never win?'”

That was my aunt’s 4th attempt at her driver license test. She would go on for another 6 attempts before passing the written test on her 9th attempt. As for the road test, even with over 10 years of driving experience in China, it took her 3 attempts to pass the road test. This is proof of karma and the phrase, “cheater never prosper.”
