Even though the roads weren't as bad as originally predicted and Little Blue Boy could have made the trip, Dad came to pick me up Christmas morning so the family could celebrate.
Parking lots and driveways were a real pain, though. We both slid and slid trying to carry all the gifts and my laundry, but the roads themselves were just slushy and slightly slick.
Anyways, at the first turn onto the main road, there's no traffic coming, so Dad floors it and lets the car spin and goes "Weeeeeee!!!!" and I almost pee myself.
I then scowl and say "Dad, remember when I was about 16 or 17 and I did that for fun, and you said if I ever did that again, you'd take away my car?!"
He then proceeded to do that for fun anytime there wasn't any other cars around.
Christmas Eve night, my brother came home from work and could NOT get in the driveway. He slid past it the first time, went to the next driveway, turned around, tried again, and slid past it again. Getting a little pissed, he just sat there and revved the engine until Dad came out to see what the fuss was about.
Whenever I used to do that, I'd get in trouble!
Gotta love Dads!
