FINALLY, someone is meaner than I am.

CNN Reports an ad placed in a local Des Moines, IA newspaper by the mom of a 19-year-old who sold his car when she found alcohol in it:
The ad reads: “OLDS 1999 Intrigue. Totally uncool parents who obviously don’t love teenage son, selling his car. Only driven for three weeks before snoopy mom who needs to get a life found booze under front seat. $3,700/offer. Call meanest mom on the planet.”
I can only hope that I am THAT COOL of a parent.

Awesome!
I am glad to say I have never, ever found booze in any of my kiddos’ cars. But, I did tell them if I ever caught them drinking and driving that I would immediately cut up their driver’s license. I don’t believe in second chances when it comes to drinking and driving. I don’t understand it when I read that it was someone’s third drunk driving offense!!!
