Have you ever feared the day your child would come home and say "Mom, Dad, I hit something with the car?" and imagining the tornado of punishment you will have to unleash on them?
Well, all I have to say it that its the other way around this time. My mother called me and had to inform her son that she hit something in his car. No biggie, just a broken headlight, but it felt strage to not be the one in trouble (I've had my share as a teenager).
I love my mother, I won't even let her pay for the new light (not like it matters with the car being traded in anyway). Mistakes happen, and I have a get out of jail free card (now that I'm too old to need it).
