What did your kid do today?

Questions, questions!

I want closure too! (<-Broken garage door, "closure", yuck yuck)

Mom-in-law offered to pay up, but on a fixed income it would mean her going without food for a couple of months. So we declined to accept. Instead I get to use it as political fodder for a few years. "What's that grandma? You don't like the way I clean house? Hey! Remember when you had my boy drive through the garage door?"....

Total cost: ~$750 (including removal of the old door and repairs to the opener)

Nothing inside was damaged, and the car had a few minor scratches. Once the boy figured out Grandma was taking the heat he realized he had a really cool story to tell his friends. "Hey I drove our car through a door, what did you do today?"
