That rule should have been explicitedly stated from the start, and, as a new parent, I obviously was not clear. :) Any unforeseen occurences that are out of their control, of course do not count. They should have called as soon as the car broke down, however, because I would not want my daughter or son stranded on a highway with a stopped car.
>> And if the teenager doesn't look at their watch?
Curfew's 12:00 - they could have looked at their watch. That's just being irresponsible. Lock 'em up!
Again, just letting you know that getting penalized and not understanding why can be bad for a poster's already fragile ego.
