Little Guy Wants A Driver's License

Little Guy decided he wanted a driver's license. He thought it would be fun to drive Grandaddy's truck to town or to get cow feed. He could even learn to drive the tractor! Wow! Little Guy knew the cows would sure be impressed if he could drive the tractor. He needed somebody to teach him how to drive. He could ask Grandaddy but he's not real patient. Besides he's been pretty busy with the garden. Little Guy really wanted Christopher to teach him. Christopher is lots of fun. He even taught Little Guy how to fish. He knew Christopher could teach him how to drive. Except Christopher wasn't around. That left Mama. Little Guy went to see his Mama. He smiled sweetly. Mama wasn't fooled. She shook her head no. He pleaded. Her answer remained the same. "You are too small for a driver's license, Little Guy," she told him. "Besides, I would worry myself sick if you were out there by yourself. I won't have it!

And the Tire Went Whishhhh

It was Sunday so Mama, Little Guy and Sunshine got up early and went to church. It's important to go to church. There were a lot of people there. The big choir joined the praise band, then the hand bell ladies came out. It was awesome! Sunday school follows contemporary church. Mama goes to the adult class. Sunshine goes to the youth class.

When Mama opened the car door, they all heard a loud noise. Mama looked around. Sunshine started sniffing. Little Guy checked out Grandaddy's van. Oh, no! It was coming from a tire on Mama's car. Mama rushed inside and quickly changed clothes. She grabbed the shop keys and started running...

Little Guy Helps Fix the Car

Little Guy Helps Fix the Car Little Guy had a headache. Grandaddy was working on the car and he had to help. Little Guy's job was to hold the light and listen to Grandaddy complain. It was a hard job. The handle on the driver's door wasn't working right. Grandaddy said a spring was broken. Gran was really glad it broke while Grandaddy was using it otherwise she would never have heard the end of it. Grandaddy had already taken the door apart one time to figure out the problem. Little Guy was excited to help. He didn't know much about fixing cars but he really wanted to learn. He was disappointed that Grandaddy couldn't fix it right that moment. He had to go to town to get a part. Little Guy was rested up by the time Grandaddy got back. So they took the door apart again and Grandaddy put the new spring into place. They were putting the handle back in when the spring popped out. Grandaddy and Little Guy couldn't find it anywhere. Then Little Guy shined th...
