Teenage Driving

The other day, when my son walked calmly out the testing room and told me he failed his learner’s test, I thought he was pulling another “gotcha” joke on me. His emotions were so closed that I almost wished the girl who came out the room before him and busted into hysterical crying was my daughter. Her grandfather (or father) just stood there not knowing what to do. Poor guy.

I opened my obnoxious parenting big mouth and said to my son, “The length of your disappointment is only valid depending on whether or not, through change or substitution, you can alter the source of the disappointment.”

Yeah- that’s really what a 15yo wants to hear. At. that. moment.

So I took him out for lunch and told him to study more so he can the test again this Saturday.

Wish him luck! And me luck from diarrhea of the mouth if he fails again.

outfit: If I knew how to use the Photoshop on my computer, I’d edit my cats out of my pics, I may be smiling here but it is a “will you getchur butt up outta my picture!” smile. And I keep forgetting to remove the time stamp from my camera.

Outfit is doubling up for BYOB girls game night after work, where there is bound to be tons of drinking and fun!
