Car shopping with teen requires stealth “It’s not safe enough.”
“Fine,” Shannon said. “I’ll look up the safety rating.” “Fine.” I’d forgotten about the car when I arrived home from a long, busy day at work and collapsed in my favorite chair. Shannon sat across from me on the sofa. “Mom,” she said. “I looked up the car’s safety rating. You were right.” Suddenly the room grew bright and infused with light. All sound seemed far away. Was this my house? Was this my daughter? My world suddenly was altered. When my heart rate and surroundings returned to normal, when the white light faded and I realized I wasn’t actually DEAD, I asked Shannon to repeat what she’d just said, especially those last three words. “You’re kidding, right?” Not THOSE three. It seemed I was destined to hear them just that one time. It would have to be enough. But we still have a problem. We haven’t found a car I can afford that is safe enough for her to drive. We’ll be shopping again this weekend, in stealth mode until I get a better idea of what we can afford. Then I get the fun of finding out how much my insurance is going to increase.
