Maybe, I can't remember. It's been too long.
The kid has been doing the sound board for the school musical and they are in rehersal so he's had real long days. Anyway, he leaves the lights on in his bug and drains the battery. So, mom and dad are going to bail him out and head up to the school to bail him out. I jump it and we leave my Subi. There's not much gas but, I can't shut the thing off so we make a dash for home. Guess who had a long walk? Would it have been so hard to say we'll need gas? I could have brought a gas can full. Anyway, then it's bring back the gas can, jump the POS and bring it home. Oh ya, the charger wouldn't charge it so, mom says why don't you get the kid a new battery? Why can't he walk for a while until he can buy a new battery? Let's see I seem to remember calling my dad at midnight one night cause the car couldn't go. When the tow truck driver came he found a broken U-joint and said I'm going to tell your old man what you were doing. Dad never said a word. What do you think should I bust his balls or just get a new battery? |

I have met many who would never call a parent. People who succeed in life seem to have more choices. This was Gerry's choice calling you and it seems like it brought him the result he wanted even if you and I know, he didn't need it. Life will teach him. You will remember this fondly one day. So for now... Smile, tell him the story about what you did and what your Dad did and know that one day he will have a child with a problem and his only preparation will be his time with you. |
