User blog:AustinDR/Review: Driving Miss Hazy

This episode was another one of my favorites. In it, Lincoln - fed up with having to do chores for Lori in return for her taking him to the comic bookstore - decides to teach Leni how to drive. Though when you have a sister whose favorite color is zebra, you should expect some trouble. Simply put, Leni is worst at driving than SpongeBob. At least SpongeBob knew the basic parts of a boat; Leni literally doesn't have the faintest idea about what each part of a car is called. But that's what makes the episode funny for me. My favorite part of the episode is where Lincoln uses a video game to help Leni visualize driving, but it ends up causing her to fail her first driver's test when she turned the car in the direction of the mall, and tackled an elderly woman. Or how about when she runs away in fear when Lily was dressed up as a squirrel (a cute one if I may add). However, I also liked how determined Leni was with trying to obtain her driver's license, partially because she had her siblings' interests in mind besides her own.

Now, my main gripe with the episode is the fact that Lori deliberately sabotages Leni's chances of getting her driver's license. Now I have mentioned in my blog that this could be due to Lori having nothing special about herself and uses the "eldest" card to feel wanted, but I felt disgusted by her actions. What's worse is that she never considered that Leni could potentially get hurt or killed because of her. It takes Lincoln outright telling her this that it makes her realize how wrong she was. This just honestly made Lori come off as self-entitled. At the very least, she does offer to teach Leni how to drive until her next test comes around, so that's somewhat good.

Final score: 3 1/2 out of 5 stars
