Okay, LOL, kid located car as the cops were in process of towing it away, thankfully he did not incriminate himself, plus this is not Tucson where they would've arrested him and devoted 20 hours to interrogating him as to "what he did wrong." (LOL, I will admit I feel a bit like Tucson police only it was 20 hours of "What have you learned,") and my poor mommy who is on retreat is gonna come home to an impounded car.
Part of me wants to go, "Heh hehe!!! I TOLD you he was like this and needed consequences, so I feel BAD for you but only SO bad because kiddo only moved in with you because he had worn out his welcome here! So, suck it!" (My mom has consistently maintained that my kid is angelic and like, just "learning" about life, while I've at times beaten my head against a rock demanding she consequent him, and failing.)
Part of me just feels really bad for her, and etc. I also feel bad for the kid, every time I tried to get him to chill or figure out what he could DO to calm down well, like, he would start freaking about concerning his terribleness. I finally said, "Look, regardless, the car is safe for now and you have your first FULL time WORK WEEK on Monday, you need to sit down and chill with your dog, and eat something, it would be STUPID to keep on with this, and then lose your very first job so do that, realize you aren't a hateful person trying to get "better' you are a kid with some blind spots trying to lean to navigate. So DO IT and call me in an HOUR." Click.
Mainly though, glad I'm not being presented with the hypothetical of saving my kid's dog or some stranger because I might pick the dog, wait NO I wouldn't but I AM glad he has his dog around today.
Aww, mainly I feel bad for everyone although I am glad the car is "safe."
