A Teachable Moment?

It is very difficult - but school is a reasonably safe environment for him to deal with his own failure, and to adjust future behaviour to avoid it. If Mrs A keeps on chasing him he comes to rely on her and never fails.

Tricky though. Thanks for the post...

It's so hard to pick a favorite... is it the one where the second, identical hay truck goes through the mess the first one made? Or perhaps the 5th wheel camper that so carefully aeromodded it's roof? Certainly the one that left it's entire cube wedged in there is in the TOP 3... maybe I need a TOP 5- can't leave out how nicely the "Two Men And A Truck" became "Two Doofs And A Convertible".

Yet another place where evidently the lesson is hard to learn.

I lived in Durham for years and I remember seeing trucks wedged under that bridge. In some cases letting the air out of the tires was enough for them to back out, but not always...

I'd vote for the Ryder truck with the gaping hole in the front that backed out and quickly turned into the side street (0:39-0:42). Or the one going so fast it made the tressle bounce up (0:47-0:49)

The camper fits now...

Absolutely, and you are to be commended for your effort to be sure he learns it.

Some kid piles his ol' LTD into it!

I tell my friend about it, whereupon he tells me he and the wife were in WalMart recently when they heard a crash... someone drove into the WM building.

Which caused me to recall the lady that drove into one of those big yellow pillars in the WM parking lot... that left a mark...
