Things Parents Don't Want To Hear At A Gala

Neighbor, "Boy, your kids are growing up so fast, it's incredible.  I can't believe your son is driving already."
Parent, "He's not driving yet.  He's only 15."
Silence.

  6. This may or may not have happened to someone with whom I closely identify myself. :/ Not proud of 15-year-old decisions. We see tons and tons of safe, see beautiful now.

    Happy seeing beautiful!

  7. Someone is going to have a serious conversation when mom and dad get home.

  9. Definitely not something you want to hear. My girls never wanted to to drive. We finally made them learn when they turned 18. I wonder if their fear of driving came from the fact, that we live in California. The roads here can be a dangers place.

  10. Uh oh! That doesn't sound good..

  12. Look on the bright side, he didn't have an accident. Now you can have the big talk and I bet he won't so it again 'til he's meant to.

  13. I fail the point? Most boys around here are driving at 15 - albeit illegally! Comes naturally in rural grazing areas.

  15. Haha..."Oops, I was mistaken. Not your kid!"

  20. Haha, this really made me laugh! I could just imagine their faces!

    ReplyDelete

  22. lol! Somebody's busted! since my daughter is only two, the thing I wouldn't want to hear at a gala, would be, "that exhibit that your daughter just destroyed cost millions of dollars!"

    ReplyDelete

  24. ouch...not a good thing at all...so next post you will cover the conversation...ha

    ReplyDelete

  25. Uh oh! I agree with another commenter -- SURELY he must have a doppleganger!

    ReplyDelete

  27. That sure brings back memories...only it was the police at 1 AM say your son just wrecked your car!! Thank goodness he was alright the car could be fixed but that 15 year old didn't get his license until he was 18! Have a very Happy Easter, Esther

    ReplyDelete

  44. LOL.

    Of course I can laugh...my youngest is 19.

    ReplyDelete

  87. Awesome. My brother taught my sister to drive around our farm when she was about 10 while my parents took Sunday afternoon naps.

    ReplyDelete

  88. Uh oh. Sounds like my sister.

    I was around 16 (and had just gotten my permit) and I woke up to the phone ringing. It was my younger (year and a half younger) sister on the other line, “don’t panic, but your car is OK”. I rushed to the window, “where’s my car!?!” I yelled into the phone.

    Turns out my sister wanted to see her boyfriend. So she “borrowed” my car and drove over to his house only to lock they keys in the car once she got there.
