Don't Play Around!

Here's my story for the day:

Today Chris got his letter from the Division of Motor Vehicles. THE letter he's been waiting for, setting his appointment for his driving test. We've been expecting it for a few days now . . . Chris has been dying to get it for months now!

He sprained his wrist last Friday, so he asks his Mom to open it for him as he stands there salivating (but acting cool, not wanting us to know his anxiety). "What's it say" he asks?

"They denied your request for a test date," says Mom.

"WHAT?!?" moans Chris! "What do you mean?"

Mom breaks out laughing, not able to keep a straight face any longer!

Chris says angrily, "Don't do that!" But after he sees me join in, he laughs too, but not really heart-felt. I am ultimately relieved we averted a heart attack.

The moral of the story? Don't play around with THE driving test date of a 16 year old! {whew! lol}
