Parents extract their sweet revenge.

I am not sure whether you guys (and the few girls that drop in here) have heard of this joke.

A couple of kids are playing with water-guns, drenching each other, squealing and stuff.
Basically driving their mom crazy. Since the water guns happen to be gifts from their grandma, the kid's mom asks Grandma, "Mom, don't you remember how we used to drive you crazy with water guns when me and my siblings were kids? Still you thought it fit to buy water guns for your grandkids?"

Grandma replies, "I surely remember how you all would drive me crazy. Which is exactly why
I chose to gift these to your kids". :-)

Something of this kind happened to me a couple of weeks ago. We had gone for a wedding in Kerala and after the wedding and lunch, we were getting ready to head back home. Me and
Dad were sitting in the car waiting for my Mom and wife to come. My Dad was sitting in the
front passenger seat with my son in his lap, while I am sitting in the driver's seat.

Like any kid his age, the stuff around him arouses my son's curiosity and he is fiddling with
any car control that he can reach - the stereo console, CDs, the gear shift lever etc. I move
the CDs out of his reach, lest they get damaged.

My Dad watches both of us and goes, "I can't wait till your son becomes 15 years old."
Me : And why would that be ?

"Because then I would personally teach him how to drive a car".
Me : But at 15 he would be too young to drive a car and also below the legal limit of 18 years.

"Exactly. I want to teach him driving so that he takes out your car, scrapes the paint at a
few places and gets a few dents here-and-there like you did to my car at that age."

Ouch. Looks like my Dad hasn't forgotten how I would sneak his car out of the garage and
roam around with my friends when I was just 15-16 years old.
