IT'S FINALLY FRIDAY, MY WEEK AS BEEN BASICALLY FOCUSED ON WORK, WORK AND MORE WORK. I WANT TO SHARE A STORY, IT IS PARTLY FUNNY BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT IS NOT.
I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH THE NIECE (18) OF MY EX HUSBAND SISTER THIS WEEK. SHE'S JUST GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL AND IS READY TO HEAD OFF TO COLLEGE. SHE'S A NICE KID, SHE'S SMART AND SASSY. FOR HER GRADUATION GIFT, HER PARENTS GAVE HER A CAR. SO REMEMBER THAT'S SHE'S HAD THIS CAR FOR BARELY 3 WEEKS NOW.
ANYWAYS, LAST WEEKEND, A BUNCH OF HER GIRLFRIENDS AND HER, DECIDED THEY WERE GONNA *EGG* THE HOUSE OF A GIRL IN HIGH SCHOOL WHO HAS BEEN CAUSING THEM PROBLEMS SINCE THEY WERE IN GRADE 9. SO THEY ALL STOLE EGGS FROM THEIR RESPECTIVE HOMES AND HEADED OUT TO THE GIRL THEIR NEMESIS' PARENTS' HOME.
IT SIMPLY AMAZES ME HOW FLIGHTY TEENAGERS CAN BE.. LIVE FOR THE MOMENT AND PROSPER. TO MAKE A STORY SHORT, THE GIRL, THEIR NEMESIS, HAPPENED TO BE IN HER BEDROOM WINDOW WHEN THE FIRST EGG HIT THE HOUSE, OF COURSE SHE IDENTIFIED STEPHANIE'S NEW CAR.. LOL AND THE GIRLS PARENTS CALLED STEPHANIE'S PARENTS. YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW THE REST UNFOLDED.
SHE'S GROUNDED FOR THE WHOLE SUMMER, SHE LOST HER CAR, HER CELL PHONE AND THE PRIVILEGE OF USING THE INTERNET...SHE'S VERY VERY FRUSTRATED. TO MAKE MATTERS WORST THE GRADUATING CLASS WAS HOSTING A GRADUATING PARTY ON MONDAY AND SHE CAN'T GO. BEING A NORMAL TEENAGER, HER WORLD HAS JUST ENDED.
SHE UNDERSTANDS THAT WHAT SHE DID WAS UNACCEPTABLE, BUT FEELS THAT THE PUNISHMENT DOES NOT FIT THE CRIME. I EXPLAINED THAT HER PARENTS ARE PROBABLY VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HER AND ARE REACTING TO IT.
MY ONLY ADVISE TO HER WAS *SQUEEZE YOUR TUSH GIRL AND LET YOUR PARENTS KNOW THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTION* BE ON YOUR BEST BEHAVIOR AND HOPE THAT IN A WEEK OR TWO THINGS WILL CALM DOWN AND HER PARENTS WILL RECONSIDER THE SEVERITY OF THEIR PUNISHMENT.
I HOPE IT'S A LIFE LESSON THAT SHE WILL LEARN AND ASSIMILATE. LUCKILY, NO COPS WERE INVOLVED.. THIS CERTAINLY MAKES ME GLAD THAT MY KIDS ARE ALL ADULTS AND OUT OF THIS REBELLIOUS STAGES OF THEIR LIFE.
AS AN AUNT, I CAN SIT BACK AND GIGGLE AT THE SITUATION, OF COURSE NOT IN FRONT OF MY NIECE.
HAVE A AMAZING WEEKEND!!!!
Much Better than M-80s in the Mailbox, which a buddy of mine got busted For!
ReplyDeleteTeenagers are indestructible, or so they think!
Ha Well! We who know better make damn sure our acts of random stupidity are more surreptitious! lol!
Oh so is this what I have to look forward to? LOL
ReplyDeleteActually this story reminds me of something a friend of mine and I did to the home of a boy that did something to upset my then best friend.
My best friend was dating the best friend of my boyfriend (hope that makes sense)...Jerome was my boyfriend's name, Patrick was my best friend's boyfriend's name. (...anyway....) another boy (who lived down the street from my best friend) named Michael i think, told Patrick that my best friend was weird, a slut, and a bunch of other things. Patrick broke up with her, and that pissed her off. She decided that she and I would TP their house, but we didn't just TP it! We used ketsup, mustard, IODINE!, and whipcream, and shoe polish on their house and their cars.
We were spotted by Michael's younger sister Jamie, who had a slumber party going on...they watched the whole thing. We were so busted.
What was worse...My mom and dad were really good friends w/Michael and Jamie's parents! oh I was so humiliated. I was grounded from my best friend the whole summer, and everything else in life i cherished at that time. We also had to sand and repaint their screen and wood front door...the iodine ruined it.
HAHA! Seemed like a good idea at the time.

Hey Jae, lol yep it certainly sounds similar. I certainly would not have wanted to be your enemy lol. Thanks for sharing. Today it is funny, but back then I'm sure it was far from it. Don't ever tell your kids about it.
ReplyDeleteahhh too late! Only I used it as a cautionary tale. LOL made it sounds much much worse than it was.
ReplyDeleteI try to keep them inline.
