Totally OT for the Caylee forum, but maybe not, as I just can't believe there are people out there like this who fib? I am darn proud of my family tonight for standing up.
<much of the story snipped... >
Long/Short is that we had an honest to Goodness hit & run in the church parking lot on Christmas Eve. By chance, we were driving TaterTot's car as she was last parked in our driveway.
< Much more snipped...>
The Gent left, with many Witnesses noting the irrational behavior. And about 30 minutes later, te Gent came back to park for Mass.
And after the wonderful Mass, many family members spoke with him and got insurance details.
Yes, he DID know that'd he'd done thousands of dollars worth of damage to his own Intrepid and TaterTot's car both, but he gave this up as an excuse for leaving the scene, "I am in the Choir and I forgot my sheet music, and I didn't want to hold Father up."
Much discussion ensued, but I a most proud of TaterTot's input, "Sir, you are an Adult. And you had the opportunity here to guide and to show what is means to take responsibility. I respect that you were diligent in your duty to the church, but, in this case, I really do think Father would have understood. I forgive you, but I will not stop being mad at you until you admit that you did the wrong thing."
Out of the mouths of Babes.
I figure KC might have had an ear tuned into that conversation about taking responsibility and forgiveness.
