It’s been just over a week since our son completed his final IB exam. Now begins the long wait: first for the results to see if he passed the IB Diploma, then for news on his university applications.

June and the first half of July will basically be one long exercise in patience.

Next week is graduation, so this weekend he was allowed to borrow my parents’ summer house in the archipelago for a party with his friends. They took the ferry out yesterday to plan sleeping arrangements.

On the way back they stopped at a shopping mall for McDonald’s. That’s when our son forgot to put the parking disc in the window and got his first parking ticket — 600 SEK.

Since he got his driver’s license in October, this was his first one. I told him I would pay the first ticket, but from the second onward, it’s on him.

He was visibly relieved.

On the bright side, we have an electric car that charges at home, so at least he doesn’t have to worry about fuel.

I never had to fill up my parents’ car when I was young either… and somehow I still managed to learn financial responsibility.
