(Me, blank stare. Nich, insert hesitation here). I was coming out of the Skatium...the streets are so lit up, I didn't realize that I didn't turn my lights on. I saw the flashing lights behind me and I was like...what's this guy doing...is he coming after me??? Then I realized my lights were off, so I turned them on."
Me: "Did you get a ticket??"
Nich: "No", he just said "Coming from playing hockey young man???" "We were all so nervous, Jesse goes "no" and Marcus goes "yes"...then the cop saw all of our equipment in my car..HA HA HA.." (Nich, big laugh. Me, blank stare. Not funny son). "Afterwards we were like....hey, that was kinda cool getting pulled over!"(Me, blank stare, Nich hesitation). "Ummmm..you know Mom. My first time getting pulled over..kinda cool.....(chuckle, hesitation).....you know???"
No son, I do not know. I do not feel the "coolness." Maybe I am just a Mom that needs a little defrosting. You would not find it too cool had you been handed a ticket.....I would have told you..."Looks like converting to ice hockey is becoming a very expensive sport for you...now....just how do you plan to pay that ticket?"
We all have a story we could tell from when we were 16. Got to love this age, our kids and parenting. :)
