Sweet Sixteen

332 Bo Vogtritter, Drivers License Victory, Scottsdale, AZ, Nikon D-80, f 5.0, 1/13, ISO 125, 10-23-09

Quite possibly one of the most important days of your teenager years...The day you get your license!!! Bo's response when he plucked his card from the counter after the manish woman called his name, "I got my f*@^%&# license"!

Why his cussing should make the blog is for the pure enjoyment of those who know him and his literal explanation of his emotions. Using the 'f' word made this day that much more emphatically the highlight of his life thus far. And yet, even knowing this, I couldn't resist the karate chop to his arm at the shock of hearing him belt out that sentence and having everyone turn and stare.

Rubbing his arm, he shoots me a "Are you kidding me" look and then quickly shoves the card in his wallet with no remorse. Walking, (No, make that), skipping out the door, he digs in his pocket and pulls out his cell phone and calls the one person he shares every high and low with, his sister. This is a turning point for Bo...But, possibly more so for his Dad and myself. Our little baby boy just became a man. The turning of the pages seem to be happening so fast now...Sweet sixteen, driving a vehicle. Eighteen and leaving for college. Twenty one and drinking...

Guess, I'll stop the typing right there and enjoy the now moments. My son got his f*@^%&# license today, he rocks!!! :):):)
