If you think being a parent is scary now, just wait until your child starts driving! Even the best teen drivers can be shaky behind the wheel, make jerky movements, and argue with their parents about the best way to drive — as if we don’t have decades of experience on them. The late Anna Nicole Smith and Larry Birkhead’s daughter Dannielynn nails the teen driving experience perfectly in a new video, and it’s shocking how grown up she is now.
Birkhead shared a clip from a recent trip to Disney World with Dannielynn, and it’s so cute. The video begins with a couple photos of Birkhead and Dannielynn smiling in front of Christmas trees at Disney World. They are both dressed in black for the outing, with Dannielynn wearing her long blond hair down and curly and rocking white aviator glasses, looking so stylish! Then, the clip cuts to a video Birkhead took while in a racecar at the Tomorrowland Speedway in Magic Kingdom.
We cannot believe how much Dannielynn Birkhead looks just like her late mom, Anna Nicole Smith! https://t.co/UPiTatBYJs

As cars pass them on the track, Birkhead warns his daughter to “keep it straight.” After the car continues moving all over the road, a stressed Dannielyn says, “you don’t understand, it’s going on its own!”
“OK, you just failed,” he joked.
“This thing is riggedy,” Dannielynn says at another point, assuring that’s she’s “going straight.”
“Oh my god, you’re going to get pulled over in real life,” Birkhead responds. The conversation devolves into Dannielynn assuring her dad that she is keeping the wheel straight, and Birkhead reminding her to stop “overcorrecting.” Between the open air, the loud engines, and the fact that they are both talking over each other, we’re pretty sure they can’t hear what the other is saying. Yup, pretty much exactly what it’s like driving with teens!

Dannielynn Doesn’t Want to Take a Driver’s Test
In the caption, Birkhead gave a little more detail about driving with Dannielynn.
“Dannielynn trying to show me her ‘driving skills’ at @waltdisneyworld Autotopia,” the photographer wrote. “After a year of telling her to study for her driver’s test and then her just being too lazy and ‘busy’ while at the same time telling me that she ‘doesn’t want to drive,’ she decided to show me what she’s got at Disney World. She said she thought she had what it takes to pass her test, because she has been ‘playing Mario Kart for years.’ 😂”
Oh gosh! Maybe after this fun experience Dannielynn will want to take driving seriously. Or maybe not.
“As you can see here, she needs a little help,” Birkhead continued. “Despite her claims of a ‘riggedy’ car, and not being able to find the brake, she said she’s ‘ready’. I told her when she can pass a quiz at home, then I would take her to get drivers lessons because it makes me too nervous. Surely, you parents out there understand that! In her defense, the car was in need of some power steering fluid 😂”
At the end of the lengthy post, Birkhead added, “All jokes aside, we always have a great time at Disney. Dannielynn has turned into a daredevil since the shock on her face of going down her first time on Splash Mountain. 😂” For a reference to what he’s talking about, keep watching the video to the end to see a few throwback photos of Dannielynn at Disney, including one shocked face after going down Splash Mountain. She is such a cutie!
The Comments
Many parents could relate to Birkhead’s struggle with not being able to get Dannielynn to drive. “These kids have no desire to drive — and we were at the dmv on our birthdays!! 😂” one person commented.
Someone else wrote, “Yes, my 17 year old didn’t want anything to do with driving either. He got his permit only year ago. What’s with this generation!? 😂”
Others found the experience so funny. “I am cracking up watching the car go back and forth while you’re telling her to keep it straight 😂😂 love you all♥️” one person said.
Another commented, “😂 Hilarious!! Looks like a fun time!! Well, it’s possible that Mario Kart has prepared her to expect the unexpected? 🙃”
“😂😂😂 My goodness she’s growing up! You’re doing a fabulous job, Larry!!!❤️” someone else said.
Birthday Love
When Dannielynn turned 17 in September, Birkhead shared several adorable throwback photos along with a heart-wrenching tribute.
“Happy 17th Birthday Dannielynn! I am so proud of you in each and every way. Wishing you the best day ever !” he said.
“You are funny, crazy smart, pretty and just about everything I could ever imagine,” Birkhead continued. “Your Mom would be so proud of you, I sure am. Happy Birthday! Love Dad ❤️.”
