Here’s a nugget I just learned July 16, 2010

Filed under: priviledges and responsibilities,yes! show me — Sarah @ 4:36 pm

My daughter is not ready to ride in a booster seat. She may be ready according to height and weight, but that is where it stops.

I just stopped at a local convenience store…this is where I say I was buying milk, but no, the stop was for cold beer for the weekend.

I was walking up to the counter with my Heineken (good hot weather beer) and the nice lady at the counter turned towards me and said “mam (hate that word) your daughter is standing on the roof of your car”. Very calmly I looked out the window, and indeed there she was. And I don’t mean the hood of my car – the roof – and I drive a Honda Pilot, no short car.

The best part – she only had a shirt on, she was once again bottomless (which was her choice, and why she was in the car instead of with me in the store). So there she was in all her glory, half naked on the roof of my car. When I walked outside (at which point she saw me and did a little jig) I very calmly said “how are you going to get down?” she replied with “don’t worry, but don’t drive away ok?”.

OK.

    BWAHAHAHA! I am laughing with you I swear! I don’t drink but if I did I would join you!

    How’d she get down anyway?

      She held on to the roof rack I think, can’t remember, I was so shocked by what I was watching. I do know that she got down like she had done it a hundred times before. I just stood underneath her, just in case.

    As our daughter loves to parade across our deck, high above the road (steep driveway), being nudey, for all drivers to see, I can SO imagine this!
