I’m sorry about your car…it brings back a lot of memories about different car incidences in our past. At what age do we stop doing damage to our cars because of poor judgement? I guess it’s the same age that I stop getting pimples, so never

Oh Jane, I wish I was your neighbor! I’d have been over there in a jiffy with my jumper cables.

As your kids get older, the car rules change. My 16 year old son recently told a friend “my mom’s psycho about the car radio.” Here are my rules:
1. There is an imaginary line running from the left edge of the passenger seat toward the dashboard. Everything from that line to the driver’s door is my domain. Including the radio and the temperature control.
2. I am in complete command of the radio and do not take requests. I also do not take kindly to demands – such as “turn it up,” “change the station,” etc.
3. If one of your friends gets in my car and demands ANYTHING regarding the sound selection, I will make them feel bad for not saying “please” and “thank you,” and then I will ignore them completely.
4. No eating, unless it is me eating. Because others will spill. I will try not to eat in front of you, but make no promises.
5. When we get to our destination, get all of your stuff out of the car – this includes the ONE sock, ONE glove, ONE shoe, ONE anything you are accustomed to leaving in my car. I got no need for it.

Kids, ya gotta love ‘em!

I have actually rear-ended someone because the kids got so distracting. Luckily the only damage was to my minivan and not to the other car. So your rules are great–I don;t have a dvd player in my old van though.
