Her Learner's Permit

A TEENAGER who had just received her learner's permit offered to drive her parents to church. After a wild ride, they finally reached their destination.
The driver's mother got out of the car and said, "Thank you."
"Anytime," her daughter replied.
As the woman slammed the door, she said, "I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to God."
