It was a relatively spine-chilling experience when the police came to our door with our son! He was basically at a large party drinking while he was underage.
- Well, thankfully the police officers didn’t want to put him in jail and told us to make sure this never occurred again.
We had a stern talk to make sure he knew the risks of alcohol and how it wasn’t a positive thing to be partying in such a way with delinquents. We basically said it could also lead to other drugs and that was something we definitely didn’t want him getting into. While we were totally being serious, all he could talk about was the uncomfortable temperature control settings that he had to deal with in the police cruiser. He said those officers were easily cranking the air conditioning appliance so that he would not be comfortable in the back, something like cruel and unrespected punishment. We totally paused for a moment and I asked him if he was on drugs at that very moment. He said he wasn’t, although he might have been drunk! Oh, he was drunk without a doubt and we decided to ground him for a long time so that he would learn his lesson. Honestly overall, our kid is a great kid and he has aspirations of being an HVAC professional. He will never be successful in life if he ends up in jail though for doing such things like drinking and driving. Fortunately he was smart enough not to do something incredibly stupid like that, but we honestly don’t want to see it happen down the road. He basically ended up cranking the air conditioning appliance in his room and sleeping it off and we spoke again in the morning hours with pancakes and bacon.
