One sunny and bright day I had decided to go to the store with my dad to get some groceries that my mom had asked for. We were on our way to the store and my dad had finally found a parking spot after like 20 minutes.

     He looked at me and said “do you want to come with me or wait here?”

           “I want to go so I can get something to drink”

“Ok” he replied.

So after like a half hour we got what we needed and started to head back to the car, we were on our way to the house. We had just arrived and we were about to get out of the car but my dad said he had forgotten something.

             He said, ‘’Wait here I have to ask your mom what I forgot”

     “oh um ok” I replied back to him.”  

After he went inside to ask my mom what he had forgotten I noticed that the keys were still attached to the car and that the car was still running.

                I thought to myself “I think that if I drive my dad’s car and tell my friends at school they would think that’s cool.”

  But then other thoughts came to my mind like “No cause something always happens when I try to do something fun.”     

 I was never really thinking about the consequences that could happen to me if I did this all I thought about was me being cool for driving my dad’s car around. Then I decided to do it, I got in the driver’s seat and put my foot on the gas but I didn’t know that the shift stick was in reverse so I just stepped on the gas and went really fast towards my backyard and crashed the car into my mom’s big orange tree and if it wasn’t for that I don’t think I would’ve stopped. All I heard during that time was the tires screeching and felling the wind in my face. But then my mom came out yelling

“What were you thinking?”

   My dad said “I told you to just wait!”

My mom was really upset and told me to get in the house because I was grounded and I had felt really bad for what I did but seemed kind of funny at the same time. But either way I learned my lesson to not do certain things when my parents tell me not to.
