Subject: Busted again!


Hi guys,
        Notice how I didn't even need to put a name in the subject line this
time.  You guys quickly figured out what's up again.  Yep, Chris is having
his license suspended after a week.  One day after having his license, the
same day that he appeared in court, we learned that he took a bunch of kids
to the movies.  In Maine, your first drivers license is a provisional
license.The regulations are that you can only drive other family members
around and so on and so forth.  Needless to say, none of those kids were
related to Chris.  We gave him a warning and we made sure that his girl
friend's parents also new about the restrictions on his
license.  Yesterday, Chris had finally paid us enough so that he could get
insured and drive independently.  Greg and I have stipulated that he will
pay for his own insurance.  So, last night he took the car to Nicki's house
and came home.  Today, he went to Nicki's house, put her in the car and
went out to eat.  How do we know, Greg drove by one time  and found the car
in front of Nicki's house, then he came back later and it was gone.  They
were having lunch out.  Greg walked in and sat down across from them, where
they were eating,  and asked for the keys.  Chris was caught red handed and
complied.  Then, there was a policeman also having lunch so Greg went over
to check out the rules and the officer said that for him to suspend the
license he would have to see Chris actually driving, but if we press the
issue, the state will support us.  Chris also has a meeting with his
probation officer this afternoon, at which time, all this will be coming
out, including Chris riding in the car with a drunk person last week and,
who knows what all else,  and we have no idea what she will say about
things.
        The sad thing is that, ever since last Thursday, we have been
getting
along much better with Chris.  We've had some really open and frank
discussions.  I think that we're as disappointed in how things turned out
as he is, but he has to learn to respect the law and to say "no," to his
impulsivity.    Thanks for letting me fil you in and thanks, as always, for
praying.
Who else,
Chris's mom!  Arg!
