my nephew got lucky im not his dad

Yup .....happened to me once that I ran out of gas........ took 20 minuteS to walk to the gas station an 20 back. I don't have a fancy phone so I didn't call my dad.......I have a feeling he would have done the same as what you were thinking to do.

Most gas stations have a " loaner" gas can ...a tiny one.

I doubt he have walked all the way because people are generally friendly and would offer a ride. When I was walking ...... at least five guys stopped to see what I was doing and if I needed help. I thought it was a good excuse for some exercise so I walked the whole way and back to the car. Of course I had a shorter distance than your nephew.


But you are absolutely thinking right. ....... parents are not helping kids by letting them sit around watching crap on tv
