Friday OT 1: Weird Science

My dad helped me get out of a couple very close scraps where I might not of done jail time but for sure would have paid some hefty fines. “This is between you and me. Stop talking and say nothing and under no circumstances do you tell you mother.”
Enough said. Mom is still unaware.
Dad helped me get out of a wicked hangover once. Mom was doing something and he yelled at her that I was gonna help him bring some brush to the dump. We did but he also took me out for breakfast.
There was a DD to drop us off at home so he didn't get angry.
I was once paid by my old man not to go to the senior kegger because he knew it would be bad. So I took the money, bought as much beer as I could and went to the kegger and woke up two county’s over. He later said a couple years later that after he made that decision he realized it was probably a bad one.
Parents were out of town and my little brother threw a party. Someone spilled beer all over the computer keyboard and my brother puked on our carpet. I was sober and drove everyone home, cleaned up the puke and put my brother to bed. Cleaned up the house and took apart the keyboard to clean it really well. Despite being sober and it being not my party, I was going to get blamed for it regardless so I cleaned up all evidence.
Too many disappointments to list lol. There is nothing dumber on the planet than a teenage boy.
Add two or three teenage buddies and things can absolutely get dumber.
This has "lets microwave this with foil on it" written all over it.
My highlights include a '76 Nova engulfed in flames in my driveway. Came home from the beach, and I smoked at the time. For some reason I decided to flick my cigarette out the passenger's side window that wasn't open. Came back at me and I pick it up and put it out. Apparently I didn't find the cherry, because 20 minutes later a guy knocked on the door saying that my car was on fire. Totally torched, including the new tires, by the time the fire department came. Official cause: electrical lol
Parents went out of town for like a week when I was a Sophomore in HS, so naturally me and a few buddies knew we had to throw a party. Found someone to buy us booze, think we went with mostly liquor with a little beer.
Think we did it on a Friday night. Wayyyy more people showed up than I expected. Things stayed chill for the most part, until some kid tried walking out with my PS2 under his shirt. After we kicked him & his buddies out, one of them punched out a car window on my neighbor's car on the street. Made everybody leave at that point cause people said cops were called. Me & 2 of my buddies stayed, shut off all the lights & went to the basement to go to bed. We heard the cops knock for awhile & shine flashlights in all the windows, but knew we wouldn't get in trouble if we didn't open the doors.
Cop came back the next day when I was home alone. I explained my parents were still out of town, so he said he would come back to chat with them when they got home (& he did) - gave me the standard lecture about not doing that again. They caught the kid who broke the window. Neighbors told my parents we had a keg - don't know where they got that idea cause we definitely did not. Could have been worse I suppose.

This was in '86 I think. Got a '78 Monte Carlo and blew the transmission out of that, and then the engine. I think I killed 3 cars in my first 4 years of driving. Along with at least 3 sets of tires.
I remember having a party as a senior in high school when my folks were gone. My buddies decided to hide beer cans all over my house so I spent the entire morning the day they came back trying to find them. Try as I may, I missed a few and had some explainin' to do. Great friends...
I had wee bit of a party at my parent place and a kid ended up getting thrown through the patio table shattering the glass. Parents weren't that mad because I kicked all of them out.
Got pulled over for friends throwing fireworks out of my Wrangler at 16-17. Cop took half the fireworks (managed to save half the fireworks by hiding them under the seat) and he stomped out the tobaccy products. Parents laughed when I told them.

I was the youngest of 5. By the time it got around to me my Mom was exhausted by the **** my hell raising brothers had pulled and dealing with a couple of teenaged girls. So she finally had a heart to heart with me saying to be smart and just call her if it came down to needing a ride rather than driving or riding with someone who had been drinking. It wasn't going to be all is forgiven but doing the smart thing would be taken into account.
I pulled some ****, but with that much freedom and trust I actually was more smart about it then I would have been if she tried to rein me in.
I still knew which stair treads to avoid when coming in at all hours of the night... So much so that we now make sure our daughter knows she has to check in with us when she gets home even if we are in bed. Of course she is growing up in a city while young Velo was in a small town.
