This reminds me of a funny story that happened to a friend, I'll call Johnny, 35 years ago when he was 16 years old. He took the family car out one night and side swiped the passenger door on a post, damaging it severely. He then headed home drunk and quite depressed about the situation because he knew his father believed in tough love. The next morning his mother takes the car to the grocery store and upon return she notices the damage and bolts up to Johnny's room just as he is waking up with a severe headache. His mom busts into his room and says "Johnny" you're not going to believe it, but someone hit me while I was in the grocery store this morning, your father is going to kill me. Johnny says don't worry Mom, it wasn't your fault, he will understand! This is a true story. He told her the true sequence of events about 5-years ago, some 30-years after the fact!
