Ahh the joys of being a "good kid"

so pretty much i'm an uber lame-o and was totally not paying attention as i was driving through my neighborhood this morning and got a stupid ticket! i was seriously upset, cuz i've never gotten one, and the officer was super rude about it and did not act very nice! and to top it off i'm sitting there thinking, not only do i have to pay a zillion dollars but i have to tell my parents about this...and i'm like NOO..what am i gonna do, i mean are they gonna be mad, how do i convince them i'm really a good child and i really just wasn't thinking or paying attention ya no..so all day i'm like not just planning how i'm gonna tell them but plotting how i can make it sound as good as possible or how i can present it so that i won't get shot...so i get home and of course my parents aren't just sitting there, o no, i had to continue thinking about the incident all nite until dinner and then when i finally prep them by telling them what a good child they have and i tell them about the ticket..they're totally ok with it..like pretty much it was like, welp ur responsible, u've got money, sucks for u but we're not mad...u can imagine my relief, and at the same time the annoyance that i'd been twitching about it all day and they just totally were like, it's ok, it happens, we're sorry u didn't just get a warning, u wanna do traffic school or not?..ahh!haha so pretty much the moral of the story is, if ur a good kid and u at least try not to be defiant and please ur parents, then at certain times (and with certain parents) u can soften the blow a bit..
