Incredible!!!!!!!

Hi Everyone-

My wife and I Drove down to Ramstein to visit a few friends last weekend.

We met up at a great Mexican Restaurant and talked about our new venture www.PCSPortico.com and made plans about its direction.

After coming out of the restaurant, we saw a beautiful family: Mom, Dad (Airman), and baby.

The 1 year old was a definite cutie. He was dressed in his Sunday best which included hard soled shoes.

Mom must have been out of it because she proceeded to let this child stand up on a Mercedes Benz in the parking lot.

Glad it wasn't my car!

The owner of the car, apparently their friend, saw what Mom was doing and inspected her car.

As plain as day, you could see the mark that the shoes made in the hood of the Benz. The child's hard soled shoes scractched it.

The owner of the car laughed through it all, saying, "Oh My God. Look what his shoes did".

The Airman and Mom did nothing. They laughed as well. But the owner's laugh was an uncomfortbale laugh. You could tell she was so mad... but she did nothing.

I can't tell you who I was more upset with. The parents for doing nothing, no offer of reimbursement. The owner for not being more direct and saying, "Look, you need to call your insurance".

Something.

Bottom line: 1. Stand up for yourself. 2. Take responsibility.

It wasn't the child's fault for standing on that car.
