We did the same for our kids. Our thinking is if they are out with friends and something happens, they aren't stuck because they don't know how to drive the vehicleSorry, I thought I was teaching my daughter right..... The same way I was taught by my Dad. I had to learn to drive on a standard. Every vehicle in the yard was a stick so it was by default.
It worked well for me so I figured my kids should do the same.
Lol, thanks brother, a good way to start the mornin'.A lady about 8 months pregnant got on a bus. She noticed the man opposite her was smiling at her. She immediately moved to another seat.
This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again. He seemed more amused. When on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing, she complained to the driver and he had the man arrested.
The case came up in court. The Judge asked the man (about 20 years old) what he had to say for himself. The man replied..."Well your Honor, it was like this: When the lady got on the bus, I couldn't help but notice her condition. She sat under a sweets sign that said, "The Double Mint Twins are Coming" and I grinned .
Then she moved and sat under a sign that said "Logan's Liniment will reduce the swelling", and I had to smile.Then she placed herself under a deodorant sign that said "William's Big Stick Did the Trick", and I could hardly contain myself.BUT, your Honor, when she moved for the fourth time and sat under the sign that said "Goodyear Rubber could have prevented this Accident"..
..I just lost it......."
Wouldn't have made any difference at our house- mom would have still beaten me, then beaten me again for:Dayum, wish I had of thought of that back then.
Nope, Virginia. Maybe THEY grew up in the same household.Bill, we must have grown up in the same household. Is you mom named Beverly by chance?
That sounds familiar also, plus we then got the next round when Dad came home from work. ("Just wait till your father comes home!")Bill and Joe - wouldn't have done me any good.
Once mom got on a role, everybody got a turn!
