Uses

I can now officially say that my car is 100% usefull! I mean, I've never thought that it wasn't- in fact I've always loved and never once regretted the decision I made to buy it- but yesterday it was proven to the world that it is a good thing!

You see, my sister Stephanie has two adorable little girls and the older one, Emmuska, has preschool on Mondays and Wednesdays- yesterday was a Wednesday. So not only was it a preschool day, but it was a very important preschool day because they were celebrating Emmuska's birthday!

But, oh alas, oh alack there was something wrong with Stephanie's car! *Gasp!*

Apparently there was a crack in the oil tank and oil was dripping like nobody's business (perhaps dripping isn't the best word- dumping may describe it better) and by the time she got up to the Smiths up the street from our house her oil was gone!

So she was, stuck in a parking lot without any oil (the new and revised phrasing of stuck up a creek without a paddle) but wait! this story does not end in despair for there was Sophie to the rescue! :)

So, without a thought in my head but to save the poor damsel in distress I rushed up to Smiths and whisked Emmuska off to preschool (where I was mistaken for her mother. I ask you this- do I honestly look old enough to have a 3 year old--who could pass for 5--as a child? Really? Do I?)

After this important errand I went back to Smiths and we transformed my car from the pimped out ride of a teenagers that it was into a beautiful, sleek mode of transportation for children. At this point Steph and I both needed Dr. Pepper- after all in a situation such as this one there could have been nothing short of the Nectar of the Gods to help us out of this mess.

So we were driving idly around with two children in my car (for with us also was the next door neighbors little girl) until it was time to pick up Emmuska from school again. After that we finally went back home, and I was just plain tired. But Sophie had performed excellently!! She is an amazing car- with many uses and currently she is the love of my live. (Short of my sisters of course!)

Oh good days! Right? After all- you have to say--these days are absolutely amazing for building bonds between people and capturing memories. And I will have these memories for years to come--the Day the Car Died. :)

(Oh and for all concerned Steph's car is fine now--Ava is all better!)
