My girl friend Sabrina was telling me that when she heard her son had been in another car accident, her initial response was to see if it was his fault rather than if he had been injured. We laughed.
Only a parent who has insured teenager drivers (in our house multiple) can understand what another car accident does to the family insurance premiums. At one time we insured 7 cars and were pretty much brought to tears when one of the bunch was involved in any traffic violation.
Sabrina's comments made me chuckle as I remembered that just this year one of my children (who shall remain nameless) was involved in 3 car accidents. The only other parent I know at the moment who experiences this kind of Brady Bunch stress, is God.
When I am rolling my eyes, because my kids have done one more ridiculous thing, God says, "Not so fast!" It's easy to be smug when we're all grown up and think we're on the other side of stupidity, until God reminds us of a current stupid act or two of our own.
Its good to remember that we are totally out classed when it comes to God's parenting skills. He clearly has the most stress inducing job dealing with some of His over grown teenagers.
