Prediction text
Peter's 14-year-old son Milan will never get a driver's license. | I'm having a huge debate right now with Milan, my 14-year-old, because he wants to drive to get away from us. And I'm like, you can't you can't get a driver's license because I've made a prediction that you will never get a driver's license.
