I understand teenagers don't have full reasoning faculties until their brain fully develops at 20. Wouldn't you expect one at 21 and one at 19 3/4 would be somewhat able to reason properly? You'd REALLY think the 21 year old would be able to reason considering his brain supposedly is fully formed :rolleyes:
One of these two "kids" did something so incredibly stupid this morning that it boggled my mind. Neither has their driver's license for several good reasons. One of these two actually should be driving, but they failed their test last week due to missing a stop sign and going 2 miles over the speed limit (can someone say duuuuuhhhhhh?). We've been suspecting that despite NOT having their license that they have been driving themselves anyway.
I caught them this morning trying to drive themselves to school. I should have waited until they were completely behind the wheel before I said anything to them, because they told me they were just "getting something from the car" and that they weren't driving to school because they "always walk on fridays" . Ummmmmm, this is a "kid" who refuses to walk two blocks on a sunny day, there's NO WAY they'll walk on an overcast day for two miles - especially with me home to drive them!
They went slamming into the house telling how they're not stupid and could lose their license, blah blah blah. I told them they've been known to do stupid things. This "kid" then proceeded to IM a few people (I'm sure to tell them she wouldn't be giving them a ride this morning)
I called hubby and told him I caught the idiot and he called them. Hubby called me back and said that they changed their story a few times and they were royally BUSTED! The idiot in question still expected me to drive them to school after they shouted at me that I was a tattletale and gave me a few choice words. THAT went over well, I assure you :mad:
HOW STUPID do they think we are? This is SO TYPICAL of them when they are caught doing something wrong. I've caught them many times over the years and its always the same.... come up with a perfectly good and innocent explanation, then fire off a lot of "I didn't do anything!" Thy protest too much!
Sorry this is so long. Just let me vent.
