He just didn't get on it. How could I be so dumb to confuse the two.
(Son waking Dad early from his sleep) Son- Dad, you need to take me to school. Gat- Did you miss the bus? Son- No. Gat- So why do you need a ride to school? Son- Because I didn't get on the bus. Gat- So you missed it. Son- No, I didn't miss it Dad, I just didn't get on it. Gat- Did the bus come? Son- Yes sir. Gat- Did you get on it. Son- No, sir. Gat- Then you missed it. Son- Dad, the way you put it, you're making it sound like I missed it, yeah, but I didn't miss it! I wasn't ready yet so I didn't get on it.
This conversation went on until he got disrespectful, ended up grounded and various other punishments for his disrespect, because he's furious that I insist he admit he missed the bus and apologize for it. I think the problem here is he is a teenager, and needs to be quarantined until the doctor can verify he is a full grown adult... maybe 4 years or so. Anybody know any home remedies or witchcraft to address his condition?
