One of the more interesting phone calls I receive from the wife or the son is where they're having a disagreement on something and they'll call me to settle it.
Just as in a real courtroom, each one presents their case, and then I make my ruling. And the judge's ruling is always final.
Today's case: Whether or not the front of the car is considered a "side"
Synopses: Wife and son go to the grocery store. While standing at the rear of the vehicle placing the purchases in the back, wife asks son where the cart rack is. Son replies it's on the other side. Wife checks both sides and doesn't see said cart rack and asks for clarification. Son says if we're on the back side of the car the "other" side would be the front.
Son goes first. His argument is the vehicle is basically a rectangle and if you were standing on the narrow side of said rectangle the "other side" would be the other narrow side.
Hmmm... Good opening argument. Lets here from the other side.
Wife's turn. True a car is basically a rectangle but, two of those four sides have commonly accepted names of front and back or rear. Leaving the remaining sides of this rectangle to be called the sides. Also a good argument.
I'll be in my chambers while I make my decision.
Judges ruling: If you were talking with some one about a car accident and they said the whole "side" of the car was crushed in you would not picture the side with the headlights, grille and bumper, you would picture the door.
Ruling in favor of Mom
Case dismissed....

YOUR son appealed the decision and sent it to another court who ruled in his favor. I'm working on sending the case to the supreme court... I need to decide who the judges are though. I'm nominating ones that I think will rule in my favor.
This court would have ruled in favor of mom
