PunkHP noted<\/a> in a comment to the Sightseeing in DC post that he had a monument in his yard worth “explorering.” \"Explorer1\"
\nIt seems that my newest licensed driver (Beta) had a little difficulty backing out of her godfather’s driveway as she headed for school yesterday. It was dark outside when this innovative parking job occurred, and there were one or more younger siblings in the car.<\/p>\n

And, in a classic display of teenage angst, Beta managed to be quite unapologetic and worse, began demanding that someone fix the problem.<\/p>\n

I selected their godparents wisely: the “fix” was that she was taken to school, and the monument remained in the yard for the day. It was clearly the greater punishment for her godmother, who then had to take her to school, pick her up, take her to work, etc., but it gave her a bit of time to (I hope) reflect on how one should behave when one is in dire need of assistance.<\/p>\n

\"Explorer2\" PunkHP, LilPunk, and Delta obviously had a little fun with the monument before PHP and his older son managed to rescue the vehicle (I’m glad I wasn’t there to see it) later in the day.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, Beta has acquired a little humility through this incident and will be a little more careful, and a little more respectful, in the future.<\/p>\n

I owe PunkHP and Miss Dixie big time for taking on three of the girls for me (and taking care of the house and the menagerie therein) for the week. I’m not sure how to repay them, but I’ll have to think of something.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
