Growing up

I went yesterday to pick up my kids from school and my youngest son wanted to go over to his friends house. Well I decided to let him go over. I get this call from him saying he is going over to another friends house and that his mother was taking them over there. Now, I forget to ask where does this friend live what is his address what is his phone number is his mom going to be home well you get the picture! I am a nervous wreck!! I take my daughter to her play come home and there is a message mom I want to stay at my other friends house for another hour or so ok? AW NO IT ISN'T OK!! So thankfully I have caller ID like most of us have and I call the number it is his friends cell phone which tells me to listen to the music while your party is being reached, ok dum da dum leave a message, WHAT!!!! Leave a message saying this is Kyle's mom have him call me RIGHT away!! He finally calls me back and I say NO you can't stay longer I need you home NOW!! Where does your friend live? He tells me and I tell him to meet me at 7-11. We get home and I am asking all these questions, well come to find out he went to his one friends than they went to the park, YOU DID WHAT!! How did you get there? Who took you? WHY didn't you call and ask me? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING???? MOM, we just went to the skate park! That is not the point is it?? You were supposed to stay at your friends house and you know you are to call me if plans have changed! Before he had called me back I had left a message to my husband that Kyle wasn't home and I couldn't get a hold of him and I am thinking maybe we need to get him a cell phone! I really am not sure I like this growing up stuff, but my son also knows the rules and than I could kick myself for not asking all those questions it isn't like me not to do that!! Later I realized that yesterday he was supposed to go to confirmation class he had missed last week because of the dance. He is home safe and that is the main thing but I can't believe he did that. My husband came home and gave me all these opitions and said it is up to me if I want to get the cell phone for him or not. WHY is it up to me? I just got my daughter a cell phone, but she is 16 and with drama she really needs it and I am glad I got it for her. I am sure if I do decide to get her brother one she is going to be upset and say it isn't fair because she had to wait to get one and on and on!! Or I can just tell my son no going over to his friends anymore if he is going to end up somewhere else!
