Oh Mandy - I am so sorry about your son's friend. Thank goodness it wasn't worse, oh my goodness.
All 3 of my kids have gone through that "begginning" driver stage and it is frustrating/scary/nerve wracking, etc. It truly is enough to send a Mom over the edge. But....it's that part of their life just as we had gone through when we were their age.
Place that bottled up fear into an angel's hands and try to relax. Let your son experience the same as you did. You've been great sitting him down and explaining all the responsibilities that having a scooter has and that's important.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could wrap a plastic bubble around all those we love in hopes to protect from every danger out there? Let life's mishaps just bounce off them and never harm! In a perfect world I guess?
Anyway - try not to worry your heart too much. Before you know it he will give you something else to worry about, LOL (kidding)
It's just what we mother's do....worry till we're sick, totally amazing isn't it?
Tell Collin I am glad his scooter broke down, LOL (kidding) but that when he get's back on and riding to thank his lucky stars for everything around him and to be safe. He's lucky he's only got one Mom, LOL cuz I am sure their are plenty of Mom's who could sit him down along with you and give him that list of do's and don'ts. OMG wouldn't he freak? hahahahha
Hugs!!
