Sounds like you have her trained well
I use the tennis ball on a string trick for my wife, and it works great except for that one time she drove into the garage during a downpour with windshield wipers going on high, and launched (served?) the tennis ball. It was pretty funny to see.
Training was easy.
Regarding the serve... it would have been funnier if she followed your instructions explicitly regarding lining up on the ball as she would have been spinning the steering back and forth lock to lock chasing the errant ball.

Dagnabit Roy; you caught me out!:ashamed:
I'll just blame it on memory as It shoulda been parking by Braile.
Even take a pill that helps with memory too.

UPDATE:
Both my parents test drove two F-150's yesterday. We first tested an Ecoboost XLT. Both my parents were impressed with the EB engine. We then tested a Lariat (none available with XLT trim) with the 5.0 and were not as impressed. Overall they (and me) liked the truck. Two things they did not like:
1. Turn signal. They both had a hard time keeping it locked.
2. Mirror adjustment. Hard to operate.
Other than that were impressed. We are probably leaning toward the 3.5 EB engine.
Now, about the salesmen we had............First off, he gave us a lot of wrong info. Like for example he said that the 5.0 was less powerful than the EB...On top of that, he got real snippy when the stupid know-nothing teen (me) asked what the factory hitch was rated at for weight-carrying vs weight-distributing... Said he had to look it up...Never did...I got under one of the trucks and answered the question myself...
Here are pics of the trucks:
