Who Should be Grounded??

So, yesterday I'm sitting at my desk working, Justin is in the garage cleaning his job materials out so that I can park in there (because our garage is a pit and we can't have ANY additional stuff in it without me losing my parking privileges). It was nasty and rainy so I was happy that I'd get to park in the garage after picking the kids up at Kelly's.
So I'm sitting, working and I hear a horrible - terrible- awful screeching sound - definitely not good.

I ran out to the garage to see my van in the driveway, touching the side of the garage door frame - not an inch away, or even an 1/8 of an inch away. Totally touching the side of the garage door frame. I freak a bit thinking that Justin passed out at the wheel or had a bad back spasm while pulling my van in.

NOPE. I look in and see Mason in the front seat, Justin in the back behind the driver's seat. HELLO!! Who let's a 13 year old pull a car into the garage that has a 1/2 inch of clearance on either side (never mind that he didn't even make it into the garage...) - when he's never, ever, EVER driven a car, touched a steering wheel or knows what a brake is?
Here's his skid mark on our rainy driveway:



So who should get grounded?
Mason? Justin?? or both?

You should be grounded.
Why did you give Justin the keys to your van? The man drove a purple car fer cryin' out loud! Think he cares about a little scratch on the van? ;-)

I might have to agree with the above comment. But - I say if Daddy allowed it - Daddy should pay the time for the crime.

I was informed of this little incident the other night and have been waiting for this explanation.

I agree, you did give Justin the keys and I forgot about that crazy purple car- did he not get a riding lawn mower with that too. Since you are usually much smarter, probation for you but the other two- Grounded.
Hide Justin's beer and take book 4 of twilight off Mas that should do it :) Nevermind that would be torture of you. Ground them from the house so you can have peace.

I like Jodi's idea! Ground them both from the house, taking Ella & Si with them, and give you some peace & quiet.

And holy crap....your poor van!

Grounded ,, For What? He missed the frame, No Blood No foul.It's Not like he threw up your van or anything !

I have to agree with almost everyone. Ground yourself to you room, make sure and grab a bottle of wine and the bubble bath on your way. Justin should loose all beer priveleges and definately be placed on the naughty list. Mason, was innocent in all this. He was just doing as he was told. What an obedient child!
