Son is going out with friends to celebrate New Year's.

My rules:
  • no drinking in a public establishment —you're not of legal age, I don't want to pick you up at the police station
  • drinking is ok if at a private party, but BE REASONABLE
  • DO NOT BOARD A VEHICLE if the driver has ingested alcohol or smoked/vaped pot —and do not let them drive
  • if any issue, text me, call me, I'll pick you up (but please, not from the police station)
  • no rioting, no car burning
Son: Wh... What? Why would I riot or burn cars?

Me: I don't know. Technically you're French.
That is... A lot of technically

Also - I have met your son, and the fact that that was 10 years ago just sank in
we bought tactical goggles (or civilian equivalent) and a respirator for ours for COP15. “Don’t throw shit at cops. Unless you really really have to”.
Yeah, my kids are gonna catch up to my memories of your kids soon
