BuckNrut Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Yesterday my two children and three of their friends (ages 8-12) rode their bikes to the local Little League park to socialize. They decided to go for a hike in the woods, and proceeded to get lost. We found their bikes, but not the kids. About four hours later we get a call from some guy doing yard work reporting the kids were at his house, lost. The man gave me directions and in ten minutes or so I picked them up - six miles from where they left their bikes. Guess who won't be riding their bikes for the next two weeks?

OJR Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Very happy to hear things are OK! I agree with the tanning of the backside on this one!! It should be sore enough so they wouldn't want to ride their bikes for quite some time! LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddyboman Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Glad they are ok. My sister and I did something like that once. Learned a thing or two out of that deal. Remember they really didnt mean to do wrong, but as a parent I total can understand and relate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckNrut Posted May 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Thank you everyone for your replies. I had to take it easy on the punishment part though. Amanada already has a broken nose from a misplayed fly ball during a softball game last week. She can't take gym class, or play trumpet, not to mention all the games she is missing. I'm a little suprised in her since she took the hunter safety class last summer. They do teach about what to do if you get lost in the woods, right? This is finals week at college and I had exams yesterday. Anatomy. We had to take the unit 4 exam AND the year-end final AT THE SAME TIME! Two hours, 186 questions total. Needless to say I got ZERO hours of studying done this weekend. It did lousy on the unit 4 exam, but scored in the low A to high B range on the final. I should end up with a B for the course. I've got one more exam (College Algebra) this Thursday. I'm supposed to be studying now, but I need to relax just a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
