David carefully pulled the car into his parent’s garage. He shut off the engine, gingerly got out and softly shut the door.
“David? Is that you?” his mother called.
David’s heart sank when she poked her head into the garage. He hadn’t worked up the courage to tell her yet.
“Oh, my God! My car. What did you do to my car?” she said lifting the mirror with both hands.
“Mom, don’t be mad. I’m sorry,” he said as he burst into tears.
“Are you hurt?”
“No.”
“Good! Get my car fixed,” she said and stomped back into the house.

Good reaction Mum, no point in dwelling on it. Obviously, she’s relieved but doesn’t need to show it.

Dear Jo,
We actually did try to duct tape the mirror back into position. It didn’t work. ;). I agree with Michael, I think she’s relieved but can’t show it at that moment. Well done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
