Adventures with Getty

6 minor accidents and 1 reckless driving incident in 4 months:

1. Slid into John's truck taillight in our snowy driveway

2. Got rear-ended while merging in traffic

3. and 4. Scraped up the garage entrance (and his truck) pulling into the garage bay—twice

5. Cracked my driver's side rearview mirror while backing my car out of the garage

6. Busted his own taillight backing into one of our front yard trees

But then I find him and a couple friends doing things like breaking up a sheet of ice posing as a driveway for a neighbor in need.

Home for school lunch break

When he doesn't come home for lunch, he wants only baggies full of veggies and a water bottle in his lunch sack and no sandwich.

But he's no health nut... he makes sure he gets plenty of Dr. Pepper, Mambas, and Buffalo Wing potato chips

Road kill? Yes, please

(sorry 'bout that...)

Weekend bonfires with friends

Here he is experimenting with "Ear Candles" to suck earwax out of Stir's ears.

It didn't work.

And here, Ashdon shows the camera his bicep as he assists in the procedure...

Again with the biceps :)

 

This was the night they all celebrated Nowruz (Iranian New Year) with Reza.

Getty as cheerleader on the sidelines...

Getty's life motto:

Stop Being Boring

For one of Getty's classes, we filled out these questionnaires about each other and ourselves.

First, I gave my answers about him:

Getty's answers:

A little commentary:
As you can guess, Getty raced through this, ha
5. The translation on that scribble is "controlling"
6. GB is League
7. "Less salty" means less butt-hurt, does that help? haha
10. Ashdon and Getty were in a tiff at the time, so he made sure to write "Sage" as his best friend (but he's definitely one of them)
12. Getty can't even sit through a movie, ha! He said—"Well, I'm definitely not going to read a book! or sit at home on the computer when I could be with friends!"   

 Getty gave his answers about me: 

 

3. Scribble translation is "Obey"

 5. "Eternal"

6. "Watch people die like flies" 

So, a little explanation is in order here, no? Basically, it means I'm waiting for the Second Coming—(Getty's just interested in the death and destruction part). 

7. My first "teen" job: Del Taco, graveyard shift.

10. Translation: Downton Abbey

My answers:

7. My first "career" job

Not too bad on the match-ups, I think.

I sent Getty these texts after a stranger came knocking at our front door...

...Missing for 7 months.
