My 15 year old----:grumble: :ohwell:
I drop him off last Sunday for a Superbowl party---but said I would be by to get him around 10 pm---school night!! When I went back to get him, it was dark and the house numbers were not well lit so I called him to say "I'm not sure where the house is---I am outside --- just look for me"


I started to flick my high beams on and off (you know---to get his attention)
After 10 minutes of flicking---I called him ---"Are you leaving? "
His reply: "I'm outside---but I can't see you---some jerk is flicking their high beams on and off"

I have 2 1/2 years left to teach him ---OMG CAN IT BE DONE???:ohwell:

    If it makes you feel better, my 15 year old son is just as clueless.... Must be a guy thing, and you can only hope they grow out of it... Hey Banks, you ever grow out of it? lol

    He was showing common sense, he just didn't want to get in a car with a drug smuggler.

    Haha! My 14 year old is the same way. Sometimes you just have to shake your head and smile. ;)

    I have 12 year old, and just as I get recovered from him , his 3 year old brother will be bringing up the rear to reinforce the cluelessness! OMG!!! What was I thinking on that spacing of kids. I hope that I survive. It will become survival of the fitest at some point. Thanks for posting all of the warning signs. LOL
