Broken Garage door window, explaining to parents?

tomanders91 · 26 Jun 2007 at 20:18

I was in my garage, shooting some targets with my air pistol, which im usually very very sensible with, use saftey goggles etc.I usually have no trouble at all with it, the steel BB's just fall into my pellet trap, I shot at the paper target from an angle this time, but this wasent inline with my pellet trap, so it went through, riocheted off the brick wall with so much force it went into the glass panel in the garage door, making a small whole in the inside, but a big chunk out on the other side.

Now i have no idea what to tell me parents without them taking it away from me, any suggestions?

Explain it exactly the way you explained it to us, but add the word 'accidentally' before every action you describe

Hi Dad, I'm really really sorry but I broke the garage window when the pellet riocheted off the brick wall, I'll pay for a new window, sorry.

Jump through it and say you were attacked by some guys that came knocking on the door?

Just tell them "A big boy did it and ran off"!

Tell them that you broke the glass window and unless they want more of the same they'd best not talk about it

if they know about the airgun already, I would try an just come clean an tell them it was an accident, offer to help pay for repairs or something if you have a job. But I don't know your parents.

Tell them it was a glass worm (like woodworm, but they make holes in glass)

"I broke the window, my appologies, ive arranged for it to be replaced"

Could do rofl, but theres loads of little pellets all over the floor in the garage so i ts impossible to say anything like that. I reckon the best bet is just to do what cleanbluesky said, and see what the outcome is

Mum, Dad, will you please come in here and sit down? I've got some really important news to tell you and I'm not sure how you're going to take it so I'd like you both together when I tell you. I was in the garage earlier and couldn't help thinking that it's about time I just came out and told you this straight away,well, to tell the truth I don't think straight is the correct term for this because this involves......................................................

take it from there.

Stare at your feet, look glum and claim it's really unfair, you get the blame for everything around here, then sulk until you need to borrow a fiver.

"I broke the window, I was gonna fix it but then I got upset and broke the rest of the windows, which made me madder. I then killed the cat and sat in the garage crying and masturbating until I fell asleep. Can I borrow a fiver?"

PiKe · 26 Jun 2007 at 20:30

"Mum, Dad, I'm gay."

They won't give a stuff about the window.

dafloppyone · 26 Jun 2007 at 20:30

the cat did it!

That would be a great plan, as long as he has a pair of rollerblades to back up his claim
