OK, Some of you dont know me.....its been a while since I have been on(Love's Bro in law, married her sis)....
My son Mitch just turned 16, we just bought him a car......(1998 Lumina)......
Ladies, you dont have a clue what stress is until you see your 16 year old drive out the driveway on his own......you want to run after them.....
A few days of driving to school my son tells me he isnt burning any gas up....I asked him where he's been....he says just to school and back (we live less than a mile from the school).....but he tells me he has put 231 miles on the car already...I said No way, you couldnt have put that many miles on .....He tells me I'm wrong, he has......I accuse him of driving to his girlfriends house 20 miles away...(he isnt supposed to go there yet)..he says he hasnt done that.....typical dad, I'm kind of a jerk about it......he tells me he reset the trip meter when he started driving the car..... I finally go out to his car to take a look at it......the trip meter was for 23.1 miles not 231....I felt so stupid, had to go aplogize to him...and then show him how to read the thing.........
Few days later my son tells me "Dad, I have to tell you what I did today"- I was driving down the road and saw an ambualance with its lights on.....He told me he pulled right over, but then he saw it was stopped so he just sat there, he was afraid to pass it on a double yellow line........he told me "Dad I just sat there on the shoulder waiting, cars started passing me, then the ambulance..........I thought maybe I should just go slowly........Then he started watching the ambulance....he kept seeing someone lean out of the ambulance..........He then realized...."Holy crap, its the mailman"........I about fell out of my chair laughing at him.................Just wait ladies!!!!
