Did you hear about this story?

[Pokerkitty6]

I started sneaking out of the house at 13 after my Dad went to sleep. I had an extra car key made for myself and would usually let my friends drive because they were older. Eventually he caught on...one night, my sister and I were getting ready to sneak out the window as always and our hands went right thru the screen. My Dad opens the bedroom door and says, "Going somewhere girls?" We say, not now. Turns out he had put nails on the outside of our window screen so when we would go to push it out, we would break the screen. He also made us give up our key. He found out about the car thru one of the neighbors. Can you say busted? He would never oil the doors to the house so he could hear them open and shut. From this point on we the only way we could get out was with permission.

How did you get a copy of the key?

I was just wondering how you got the key to get an extra key made.

That part of your story made me very interested and my interest peaked at that.

That going somewhere line really happened?

No wonder that's popular on tv shows and movies.

Was it surreal to experiment it?

I bet it would be.

I never snuck out as a kid.

I had pretty strict parents and was so afraid to step out of line very often.

I don't know though.

I appreciate you sharing your story with us.

Did you feel like you were on watch until you got out of your house from that point on?

Just wondering.

First of all, my Dad caught me with everything I've ever attempted in his house. I could never outsmart him. As far as the key goes, he went into the grocery store and I said I wanted to wait in the car to listen to the radio. As soon as he went in, I went to the hardware store right next to the grocery store and got my own key made. He used to take me to the skating ring and would wait until I went inside before he left. He told me you're not allowed at the bowling alley on the other side of the parking lot. Well, you know just as soon as he pulled out, I was well on my way to the bowling alley where all the "older" kids hung out. Sometimes my friends would come inside the door of the skating rink and would say, don't come out your Dad is circling the parking lot. When they said the coast was clear, I would take off. Well, once again, my Dad caught on and started borrowing the neighbor's cars. He drove up to me in the neighbor's car in the bowling alley parking lot and asked me what I was doing there. I asked him why he was in the neighbor's car and he said to catch me because none of my friends knew the neighbor's car. He told me to get in and he is the one who would ask the questions, not me. It was a long drive home. From that day forward, I stayed in the skating rink and became a very good skater. I was always on watch with my Dad. He was everywhere I turned around. He is the best. We can tell each other anything. He is my very best friend and I can depend on him no matter what the situation is. Even now he calls me every single day. How many Dad's do that? I have a one of a kind thats for sure. I'm very lucky he is still in my life. He will be 70 in Aug.

See that's why I didn't attempt most things like the other types of kids when I was 12 to 14.
My parents would catch me.

But I experienced later on in my teen years with a few things.

Okay I get how you made the key now.

I assumed it was something like that, but you know what they say about assuming, so I thought I would go ahead and ask.

Just wondering would you ever drive to another state, clear across the country like these girls did?

I could understand rebellion, but I don't think I could imagine doing that.

That's really cool that you are close with your Dad.

I know with me growing up I've gotten closer with my Dad.

And especially now that I'm pregnant with his first grandchild, a grandson by the way, and through my divorce, I've told my parents a lot.

And our relationships have grown closer.

Which is amazing because I wasn't very close to them growing up.

I never ever tried to sneak out of my parents house, no way. I was too afraid of my dad. I never even talked back to him ever. I would have gotten a spanking of my life. Sometimes we got them just for GP's any one know what that means?

Does GP mean Growing Pains?

That's the only words I could fit into that acronym.

If I get it right, I rock or something?

And I know about getting spanked too!

[BnLM5]

Nope my dad called it "General Purposes" lol.
