Sunday: 8:30 am

Taylor's POV

I wake up in my bed and look around. Then I realize why I woke up.

"Daddy said he's gonna teach you to drive at exactly 10:00 am. No earlier, no later. If you're not there by 10:05, no driving lessons for the day." Jordan announces through my locked door.

"I understand. Thanks for the PSA."

"Finally! I've been saying this for, like, 10 minutes." She replies.

"Love you too." I get out of bed and go take a shower.

After my shower, I brush my teeth, get dressed in a white and gold shirt, white jeans, and my white and gold Jordan's to match my car, then do my hair and some natural makeup.

9:15 am

"Well, look who decided to wake up. Morning sunshine."

"Hello, hey, good morning, hi, nice to see you. What did you make me for breakfast?"

"Nothing."

"What a nice way to take care of your little sister."

"Sean bought breakfast burritos from McDonald's. He left right after." She says, lifting a bag onto the counter.

"He probably went to take his drivers test again so he could get his license back so he could teach me how to drive."

"Haha, funny. I was taking a shower!" He says.

"Morning, baby."

"Good morning my beautiful Ariana Grande."

"Anderson." She corrects.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot." He says sarcastically.

"I want a divorce." Ariana whines.

"Why would you want a divorce from the most amazing man on earth?"

"Because you suck!" She tries to hide her laugh but collapses on the floor laughing while everyone grabs a burrito from the white, yellow, and red bag on the island.

"Do you need help mommy?"

"No, Alyson. I'm fine, thanks though." She lifts herself off of the floor an grabs a burrito.

"One left, who's missing?"

"Karmani, she's still asleep. Trying to get in some rest before school." Sean says.

"Ugh, school. I'm glad I don't have to go."

"Actually, you'll be going to school for your senior year. Hope you have fun."

"How dare you? I've been doing my homeschool almost everyday. I'm all caught up."

"Calm down, it's in 2 years."

"Sean, can we go now? You seem to be done."

"How'd you finish so fast, daddy?" Jordan asks, taking the second bite of her burrito.

"I have a big mouth." He replies, sighing afterwards.

"Tell me about it." Ariana says.

"How rude."

"You set yourself up for that one."

"I know."

"Has someone been watching Fuller House?"

"Maybe." Sean says, picking me up.

"Goodbye everyone. This time I'll actually know how to drive when I come back." Sean carries me out of the house and to my car.

5 Minutes Later

"Sean, can we start now?"

"No, it's 9:57 am. I said 10:00 am."

"Ugh, I'll be back." I walk in the house while Sean checks his watch.

"Still haven't learned yet?" Ariana says, looking up from her magazine.

"You're not reaching the kids anything, either. They're literally dumbing themselves." I say, gesturing to the TV that the kids are watching 'How to Dumb Yourself' on YouTube.

"That's very stupid." Ariana says, changing it to Yo Gabba Gabba.

"Learn something, little children of mine."

"Fine." Alyson says.

"Bye everyone. I swear, by the time I get back, I will know how to drive."

"That's what they all say." Ariana mutters.

"Who is 'all'?"

"You, duh!" I walk out and arrive at the car at exactly 10:00 am.

"Right on time. Let's go." I get in the driver's side and Sean gets in the passenger side.

"What's first?" He says.

"Seatbelt."

"Good, next?"

"Mirrors."

"Excellent job. Anything else you have to do?"

"Makeup." I joke, faking checking my makeup in the rearview mirror.

"Just like Ariana."

"Thanks." I turn on the car and put it in reverse.

Backing out of the driveway, Ariana comes out to take a picture.

"Go, Taylor. Wooh!"

"Did I ever tell you I already knew how to drive?"

"No. We're you supposed to?"

"Yes. I needed my license at 12."

"I doubt it. Go to the Movie Theater then come back."

20 Minutes Later

"Did you have to pick somewhere so far? Driving is hard work."

"Oh, tell me about it."

"I think I'll stick to being driven around."

"Of course you will. I'll drive home." Me and Sean switch places and he drives us back home.

20 Minutes Later: 10:40 am

We arrive at home and get out of the car.

"Do you know how to drive now?"

"Yes, I knew how to drive before I left."

"That's not what you were saying before you left."

"Whatever. I'm going to do school and take a nap."

"You just woke up literally 3 hours ago, you lazy bum."

"I know. Driving is hard work. Goodnight kiddies."

"Its not night but goodnight." Jordan says skeptically.

I go up the stairs and do school before finally falling asleep at 1:00 pm.
