Came home this afternoon from the hospital (see my other thread "A Big Scare") to freshen up before going to work and found a strange pickup truck in my driveway. It appeared to be one of my son's friend's truck. Figuring that I had some teenage boys having a party in my house when they should have been at school, I snuck in the back door as opposed to the garage like normal. It was empty. Then I thought about checking the workshop to see if the 4 wheelers were in there.
They weren't.
So I took a picture of the truck in the driveway and of the empty bays in the workshop. Then I called the school. I was standing out by my truck and I heard 4 wheelers coming out from the woods in the back of the subdivision. As they came around the bend back there they spotted my truck in the driveway and screeched to a stop, then turned around and hightailed it back into the woods.
I then called the school and checked with the attendance office to see if my son was in school.
He wasn't.
So I took the 2 pictures and sent him 2 texts, "You're grounded #1" and "You're grounded #2. Then I sent a "You're grounded #3, I called the school and you're not there." text.
I then called a buddy of mine just down the street that was home today and asked him to watch my house. I head on it to work, and he calls me a few minutes later and tells me a 2nd pickup truck just pulled into the drive. As we're talking, he tells me that they're backing out. I ask him to walk out to the street and stop them and ask who they are and what they are doing. He calls me back again and tells me that my son was in one of the trucks. He told him, "You're busted." My son replied, "I know". My friend then told him to go ahead on go back home and wait, his Dad would be home later to deal with him.
It would almost be funny if I didn't have my wife in the hospital to deal with. I don't need this crap right now. . .
They weren't.
