Did you hear about this story?

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!

Nope my dad called it "General Purposes" lol.

well i remember being able to sneak out at the age of 13. it was to easy when my wondo was easy access. i was raised by a single mom and she worked mad hours so i had all the time in the world to figure things out on getting out of the house. u know it got to the point were my mom just let me go if she caguht me. i know that sounds wrong but i never lied to her on where i was going so she always trusted me. if i was a girl then would have put the clamps down on me. as for this story i agree that really bad parenting and this is one of those cases where i feel the parents should be responsible for what has happened. man i got 2 girls and i guarantee u this when they are of age for them to even think of this i will let it be known that i will always know where they are at all times. there is this new invention called a gps that will track there whereabouts. call it invasion of privacy but there my kids and i will do whatever it takes to keep them out of harms way.
