Generally, you only pulled over when there was blood.

OMG, John Winchester and I have the same parenting philosophy!

I'm telling you, raising boys: you keep them cooped up for too long and they destroy stuff; you bring them with you, and they almost run you off the road fighting (and/or puking) in the car...

::finds it all a little too close to home::

I am loving, loving, loving the John POV here, and the whole story! But it's late now, so I'm going save the rest for tomorrow--

more then--

[pdragon76]

Well, I can only assume this is standard parenting 101. Because otherwise, why the fuck did Dad of Dragons not intervene more frequently to save my ass?

*squints at JD*

The shit my brother and I used to get up to in the car, I'm surprised we didn't go through more vehicles growing up. Srsly.

Do not make me tell you the story about JD's boogies and the paint scraper. *mouthvomits*

Thanks for reading. :) Glad you can relate.

Loving it! I like your John a lot, and smart-ass Dean with the explosives and sick Sam are a lot of fun, too. I knew I was going to love it at this point:

He’d been further irritated by the obvious assumption this was all somehow his fault. As if he’d asked Dean to detonate a homemade explosive in the carport. Like that might have been a task he’d delegated

[pdragon76]

Dude. Since that day back in April when you told me that story about the kid blowing up the stump? Dean has been blowing up this carport in my head ever since. *facepalm*

That is all your fault, lady. That is on you.

*chuckles*

Thanks for reading. :)

[brigid_tanner]

Yeah, but your version is better than the one I passed along ;) Cause it's Winchesters!

The next time you tell me you don't know Jdub, please be watching out for the smack surely headed your way.

Dragons, I love this all. Dean blowing shit up. Dad dropping him off with Gunny for some consequences to your actions learning and then Gunny finding out what Dean is made of.

The boys fighting in the car is so perfect. I think that John's philosophy of not pulling over unless there is blood is probably pretty true. All three of them are a pretty a physical group. And you know how much I love to see them slap the shit out of each other It is funny that John tell that to Sam when they drop Dean off! All he does is slap poor Sam around!

I love this top to bottom.

*\o/* I am so glad you're enjoying it, babe. *smish*

I have a fairly vivid pool of memories to draw from when it comes to car-based sibling relations and the code of conduct for parental intervention.

I don't recall that code ever helping me out any, as the youngest and therefore the person most frequently screaming for mercy.

*chk-chk* Thanks, Dad. *chuckles*

What! How did I miss this!? I swear there was no alert thingy and I'm looking through flist and I can't see it. *rubs eyes*

This here is lunchtime reading! \o/ you're awesome! I'll be back with me review later =)

DO SOME WORK, WOMAN.

John ditched Dean. He has a habit of doing that. I liked how Dean came back completely (apparently) unbroken from his little 'vacation' - and how he was instantly all about the "did you miss me?" and "what's wrong with Sam?" Very Dean. And very John that he cared but didn't feel he could show it. I also liked Grant's comments about Dean's prospective employment by the military and John's reaction to that!

[pdragon76]

Hey you! Thanks for reading. JDub does have a habit of ditching our boy, doesn't he? *shakes head* And yeah, despite their lifestyle, I think John Winchester would go down in a flaming heap before he let Dean pull on a standard-issue ANYTHING.
