proud parent moment 1 :)


My teenage son saw me peeling the GPS off the car windshield and throwing it on his lap. Yes, I was driving...The GPS was a "surprise" from my loving husband. Only I was in a bad mood and cared not to have it block half of the window...

My son said "How come we did not leave earlier?"
"I was having a good time on computer, besides is not 30 min enough to do whatever it is we're going to do?"
"Fine, I'll walk home then, let me out!"
"Oh, no!! I'll drive you home!"
"Just let me out!"
"No!"
Already half way home.
"OK, let's go! I'll manage, turn around!!" "No! You ask you get!!" "Please mom, turn around, it's OK!"
"Oh, NO!!
Be careful what you wish for! You wanted home, go home, I'm not a driver here -
turn around-shmaround!! Home!"
"I don't want to be in a car with you mom!"
"Don't worry, you're NOT in a car with me! Not yet! You have much work to do to be in a car with me!"
"What do you mean mom??" "Work! Much work before you can be in my car!"

("This is MY train!" anyone? - right, it's from "The Ghost")

He flew out of the seat, onto the driveway and into the house. Slammed the door in the process.
I left.
When back in 45 min, first words I hear "Sorry mom"
---
"Sorry mom"
---
"Ma, you hear? Sorry, you forgive me?"
"Sure" "I'm really sorry mom, OK?"
"Sure, what's new?"
Eye-roll, leave, stomp downstairs.
