Parent letter

Dear Parent,

                Just imagine peace and quiet and well me not being home sounds great doesn’t it. I should be able to get a car from you guys for like my birthday or something instead of buying my own car. I’m 16 years old and almost 17 years I deserve a car because I could do more errands around the house and mom doesn’t have to worry about when she will get the car.

                Of course I know what you are going to say. I need to learn the value of money and just buy my own car with hard work but you sometimes forget even though you guys don’t think the job I have now I is a job I still get money and I still buy most of the stuff I want. You would also say that I don’t take care of things and need more responsibility. Yes this might be true but think about it may be getting me a car would well give me some responsibility because it means you’re giving me more freedom which would give me more responsibly. Then there is the chance I could never be home because well I’m a teenager what do you expect but like I said before it would be quiet then.

                Getting a car would mean that I would actually help around the house more and help do errands for mother. These days I basically use mom’s car to go everywhere and adjust everything because it helps me be a better driver and I don’t know how to drive a stick shift. Having my own car would mean mom really can’t get mad about her settings being change defiantly since her settings are usually set to help her back. I would probably also keep the car cleaner and we wouldn’t have to worry about being embarrassed with moms messy car and I would keep it clean. Moms recent back problems we never know when she will need the car for appointments. My own car would help with errands with this cause we never know if she can’t stop somewhere because her back is in to much pain and she wants to just come so I could go do it for her. If I had my own car instead of riding the bus and taking more time to do stuff I could just go after school and go to wal-mart for mom or go take care of grandma so if like she was having a busy day I could go out there. If you this is all I can do for you guys well you’re like let me see totally wrong.

                Right now I help around the house by going to the post office, grandmas, wal-mart and some of the other lovely places we go. Some days taking mom’s car isn’t always convenient for anyone because we never know if there will be an emergency with Grandma or Nathan. If I had my own car we wouldn’t have to worry about me being in constant contact because like in the summer it’s hard to get me sometimes cause like ill be at the pool and I wouldn’t want to get my phone wet. I having a car would also help with if we had an emergency and you guys went and you wouldn’t have to worry how I would get home. When family is in town we never seem to have enough room in the car to go like out to eat so we always need more cars if we ran out of room in the car and maybe it was too cold the truck is too big sometimes and the jeep well it’s hard to fit a lot of people in it and it’s not good in cold so having my own car would help with transportation if we want to go somewhere with a lot of people. If mom was out of town sometimes she takes the car and keeps it at the airport well what car do I drive if dad needs help? Because I can’t drive the stick shift so having my own car would help if I could do errands to help around the house with that. See if you haven’t figured out there are a while bunch of scenarios that I would be helpful to have my own car.

                 Too many things could happen you see if we didn’t have a second car for me to drive.  I’m 16 years old and almost 17 years I deserve a car because I could do more errands around the house and mom doesn’t have to worry about when she will get the car.

Sincerely.

Allison
