When it's time to trade-in your kids....

In my case, it may be now. But she's pushin' 29, and I sure as hell don't want two almost-14-and-a-half-year-olds. WHY? She is a piggy-car person. Her father is a piggy-car person. I thought it was a recessive gene. IT IS NOT. It is dominant. And it may be incurable. (My father waxed his car and cleaned his carbuerator every couple of weeks; my father-in-law just flicked his ashes on the carpet when the ashtray was full. For years.)

Her mechanic is VERY expensive, so we traded cars and took her car to our mechanic. So that's why I know that the three two-liter bottles of tonic Water and case of 8 ounce waters and stuff from the play she was in...in college...at least seven years ago, and a Readers' Digest Book (anyone remember those?) and two pairs of sandals and a coat and a beach umbrella and two pie plates and a cow-themed birdhouse, and a really cool purple vase (which now lives in my living room) and a Scrabble game and a LOT of other things, are bouncing around in her car and trunk. I sent her a text message about the vase. She called from work and asked, "What purple vase?" I'd keep cleaning, but I'm afraid I'll find Jimmy Hoffa.

lol...

I'm the only one of the kids in MY family to get this gene. It was passed down from my Dad, and both his parents had (his Dad was really really bad). :rolleyes:
