I must warn you he's too absent minded to actually keep a journal/diary, so I'm writing this entry for him.

He's 17 years-old. That's important to know because in PA you are not bestowed with the responsibility to drive past 11pm with a junior License, which he has. Of course, there are few exceptions which don't apply to this entry.

The Friday evening following my broken foot revelation I slept in our daughter's room. This fact became a blessing for my boy. The reason for the bunk switch is due to my wife's incessant turning on her side while she sleeps and yanking the comforter every fifteen minutes or so. It was creating painful issues for my foot.

9:00 pm, I pop two tylenol 3 and "Goodnight Irene". Phone rings me out of my slumber a little after 1:00am. Didn't see who called. Missed the light from the phone to see. Immediately back to sleep. However many minutes later f-cking phone ringing again. I'm awake see its my son.

The moment I pick up and before I speak I'm saying to myself in my head "Boy I'm injured wake f-cking mommy up to get permission to sleep out". She never gives it by the way.

Within the milliseconds of my inner conversation the voice on the other end is a Police Officer. Brings me right out of my slumber. He's asking if anyone can come get him because he's not allowed to drive since he's 17.

Now I flat out said to the officer I physically can't drive to get him (Broken Foot) and there is no way I'm waking mom to get him (She literally was away traveling for work and just got home). I'll pick him up from the police station tomorrow morning I state.

The officer was sympathetic and said no and drove him home around 1:45 am.

Now I need to get downstairs and outside without waking my dog because he won't shut the f-ck up and in turn would wake Mom = Death for all. I went down the stairs on my bum and then left thru the Kitchen sliding glass door undetected. I see the cop car approach as I made my way to the porch.

The minute the officer saw me in a boot with the cane I felt I won the jury.

"Hi Officer what brings you to my home at 2:00 am on Shabbat?

"Well sir, I observed a car parked in the soccer fields which should not be there at 1:00 am? Radioed into headquarters that we didn't know if the vehicle was occupied until approached on foot and then from a distance witnessed two young adults in the back seat f-cking." "After they dressed, we called you.

Doin' it at the soccer fields? Not too smart. Man I was like Where's Waldo when it came to getting down in the car. They never found us.

Man, that was a constant problem all through high school; where to get it on. Now there's a nice soft king size bed in MI CASA and I'm too lazy most of the time.

Congrats to your son! Take him to Zeno’s!

It's odd that you write your son's diary from your perspective. I doubt he was thinking about your broken foot at that hour of the night. 😉

So there were hundreds of people piled into your car and we needed to look for a white and red beanie to find you amongst the masses?

That's kinky.

As the officer saw my anguish (and most of it was directed at having to hobble and scoot down the staircase, hallway and kitchen to get outside and strap that F-cking Boot on to greet him) The very kind officer heard me say to the lad as he instructed him to give me the car keys. Just a whisper loud enough for those two to hear but not enough to wake the dog, "

"You Understand I HAVE TO TELL MOM"

Cop super cool left it for Mom and I to handle. Shut the door told go to bed we'll tell her tomorrow I need sleep.

Lets just say they have a failure to communicate: It was fireworks. The youngest boy (He'll be 16 in Feb.), and I would make eye contact as Mom went to oral argument for death penalty at the first confrontation. My youngest and I could only giggle when they were gone. I was over it the next day.

I've calmed Mom down. But He's on thin ice with her- probably forever.

PS. I smile because I made him tell me the girl and can only imagine what her Fathers reaction was that night.

I love Mr P's tales of his childrens' exploits. It reminds me of Bernie Mack in the Kings of Comedy.

This post ranks up there with the Austin Nit post.

I gave both posts 3 thumbs up.

I think it is a great and enterataining story Mr. Potter... are we not here to entertain ouraselves?

Reminded me of the time when I was 17 and took my Dad's station wagon out on a date. Had relations in the back of the car that evening and when I put my pants back on somehow i didn't get my boxers on, they were stuck in the leg of my pants. The boxers then fell out of my pants, without my knowledge, as I walked into the house later that evening. Sunday morning the whole family is eating breakfast and my mother asks, "are those your boxers on the front walk?"

My dad and brother thought that was hysterical, my poor militantly catholic mother not so much.

If FB means facebook, I've never used it. If FB means Football, back in the day a loss from Penn State was like being in hell around me for some time.

The reason to share is, I know some would appreciate the trials and tribulations of raising children and might relate to the events reported in addition to make some smile. I enjoy when others post and share good and bad moments in life not related to football, so I wanted to offer this latest episode in the "Life of Potter's Middle Child".

Shalom

Good for you on FB. I quit when I posted a picture of a lasagna I had made and wasn't satisfied w/ the amount of attention I received for it from friends of friends, pretend friends, people I haven't seen in 30 years, etc.

It dawned on me that this wasn't real. The sunrise at the beach is real. Shooting 75 from the Blues is real.

I like your content. Throwing out there (speaking from experience) more than everyone needs to know doesn't always work out great though.
