I royally screwed up

I went to the local board shop after work. I started talking to some guys there and the shop owner. I lost track of time and forget to pick up my dad from work. I was an hour late and now im grounded from wakeboarding for 2 weeks. It just so happens the local amateur comp is next week. Even if I enter, I will suck because of no practice for 2 weeks.

If you can't do the time, don't do the crime. Don't do it.

2 weeks just for an hour, its not like you did it on perpose.

I know. Now because of this, my friend is also going to suck in competition. Not to mention that I am just going to get fat and worthless on my weekends now.

Guess you won't be late again.

Leo keep your head up, turning to addictive drugs at this time would be a perfect choice. Then your father with out a car will have something to really ground you over. Why don’t you tell the old man to sell that fancy A$$ boat of yours so he can buy a dependable ride to work, I don’t know if that is a car or semi truck or airboat you know whatever the hell you guys in Louisianaville drive and tell him to stop relying on his irresponsible teenage son to pick him up.

hahahaha, yea turkish. Actually I work about 15 minutes past where my dad works. So i pick him up on the way home (plus I dont have a drivers license and can't drive without an adult). I am not really supposed to be driving by myself, but I have to work if I want to pay for boat gas. I wont be late again, that is for sure. Because I am not allowed to go anywhere except work in my car. So no more solo trips to the board shop.

Pops sounds like a hard ass, tell him to loosen up a little, he's taking years off his life being wound so tight.

wow d-money. you know my dad really well. He is really cool and lets me do a lot. He bought a comp ski boat so we could wakeboard. Its just that sometimes he gets pissed off at small things. We tell him to cool down and it makes him more angry. Fortunately my dad undid my punishment. We are going to ride tomorrow so hopefully I will be able to tweak my skills for the am competition coming up.

I would be pissed too if my ride was over an Hour late. Probably seemed like 4 hrs to him standing there waiting. He was probably worried something happened to you. I dont think he was too hard on you. I would have whooped your behind on top of that if you were my son

...and we wonder why kids don't respect authority these days...

Quit whining and take responsibility for your actions!!!

Because I am not allowed to go anywhere except work in my car. So no more solo trips to the board shop.

--- HMMMM, maybe it wasn't just being late.

I would ground the both of you. Your Dad is taking on a HUGE liability in letting you drive around without a license. Of course if you get in a wreck, I guess he could claim you stole the car, sending you to prison and him }being able to keep his house, boat, etc.
