My parents also worry that I was never badly behaved and never rebelled, and guys, 1) just because you never saw me do anything you didn't want me to do doesn't mean I didn't do it, and 2) I had and have absolutely zero interest in following in their footsteps in terms of youthful misdemeanours involving alcohol, drugs, fast cars, defenestrating someone*, making cut and shut cars, falling into rivers while racing a raft of my own creation, rewiring cars to drive backwards down the motorway in 3rd gear, towing a car up a mountain and seeing how high I can get it before I can't go any further, abandoning said car in a reservoir after taking off the plates and everything identifiable, racing the police, getting arrested, and being only fairly sure I never got anyone killed.
(I love my dad, I do. He has the best stories. But I am never going to be like my dad.)
.... Aahhh, that was a good rant.
* The guy was fine and he deserved it, he was abusing my mother at the time. Still not my style.
