Welcome to Adulthood

Kid getting a speeding ticket

 

My niece, Karin, entered into adulthood on November 26, 2003. Yes, she is 18 years old now and doesn't have to listen to her mom anymore because Grandma Tiny told her this (he he). She decided on her 18th birthday that she was going to get her belly button pierced; even though her mom told her no body piercing until after she moves out. Since she doesn't have to listen to mom anymore...she had her belly button pierced anyway. She was in a bit of discomfort for a couple of days and her mom was pleased. She had a bit of trouble bending over to tie her shoes due to the piercing. She asked her mom to tie her shoes, to which her mom replied, "Tie your own shoes; you're an 'adult' now." It took her awhile but she completed the task. The next day she decides she's going shopping in Marshall. She cannot buckle her seat belt because it rubs on her stomach and causes pain. Along the way, Mr. Highway Patrol Man pulls her over and gives her a "No Seat Belt" ticket, which now costs her $85. Once again, she calls her mom and explains her dilemma. She asks her mom if she's mad at her, to which her mom replied, "No, you're an 'adult' now, pay your own ticket!" Moral of the story -- ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER OR IT WILL COST YOU!
