It looked like a murder scene and one night my assessment was proven. I got the call late at night. Her car had been broken into and the cops were on their way. I drove to her college parking lot and, sure enough, there were security cops shining lights into her car. There was blood on the window, the seat, and the steering wheel. One of the men said "WHY would someone break into that girl's car just to trash it?"<br><br>I peered inside. Everything looked just as it had at home. I kept my mouth shut, but I realized that once the burglar got IN her car, he couldn't move around and just bailed out and ran.lotta joyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12742978845913126675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-73474775921856212422012-12-08T18:07:59.165-08:002012-12-08T18:07:59.165-08:00"Just then the people from across the street ..."Just then the people from across the street started clapping and laughing, one lady yelled “Hey Randy I’ll kiss them both for fifty!”<br><br>Bwhahahahahahahahha!

He was always leaving belongings outside, so one time, I took his baseball mitt and hid it in my room. He looked all over for it and my parents were mad and told him they were not buying him another.

I'm sure life was never a dull moment in your neck of the woods during their teen years!! <br><br>I'm trying to think of a funny story from my son's teen years.....he had some turbulent years. <br><br>One that also makes me chuckle is when he was a senior and he took at 6:45 a.m. class and he's not an early riser at all. Always hard to get him to school those mornings. After he'd leave, I'd always say a prayer that he got there safely and on time. One morning I handed him one of his textbooks he had left on top of Koda's crate on his way out the door. I'm walking Koda about an hour later and my cell phone rings, its my son asking if I knew where his book was that I had handed him. I said that I handed it to him on his way out and he's like "oh...must still be in my car". Totally was oblivious to the fact that I had handed it to him. I knew it was only by the grace of God and God's mercy he passed that year and got safely to school on those early mornings :)<br><br>have a good weekend!<br><br>bettyThat corgi :)http://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.com
