A friend of mine called to chat.....

As we went deeper into the conversation she mentioned that her 16 year old daughter had 'run' into some problems.

My friend just bought a convertible mustang to give to her daughter when she got her driver's license...

The daughter took the car out BEFORE getting her license and drove it off the freeway into a ditch..

Mom had to finish paying off the balance of the car- 2,000 dollars to get the car out of the impound- and then worry about what fines and court costs that may come up because the 16 year old was on probabtion for arson!!!

The more I think of this story and the "burning down the house" story I see that you can put most of the blame on the parents..

After telling me the car story, my friend just giggled and passed it off as a 'teenage oops'
and let it go at that!
