That's too bad for her, too. Not just that it's more expensive to fix, but that should she fall asleep again and hit another mailbox-that would be another $1000 for the box and another $4000 in vehicle damage. Those darn brick or stucco mailboxes just don't budge as well-ROFL! There are a couple positives-#1-you or anyone in your family didn't do it and therefore someone else has to cover the cost to fix it and #2-your neighbors got to see that your son DOES wear clothes! LOL! And I suppose everyone can thank God there wasn't a child (yours or anyone else's) out there at the time that could have gotten seriously hurt or killed.

Brick for brick etc.) so it's not an option for us to have the only mailbox that is not. In fact, if you take into account <A HREF="http://worstmamaever.blogspot.com/2008/03/yeee-haw.html" REL="nofollow">this post</A> , a wood post mailbox might just get us driven out of the neighborhood with torches.

We've thought about building one at our house but every time we analyze the cost we're like..."nah." She's going to have a hard time convincing her parents to let her drive again. Their poor truck as well! YIKES!Lynn Stallworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12032453871395413032noreply@blogger.com
