Default Funny Thing

Happened this morning ,
I'm out in my shop messing with the car and the misses pops in and oh we're not driving that today ... This is coming from a person that never says anything about the car.. Anyway she says " way to many kids at my sisters " and you will be glued to the window looking after your car ...
I stared at her for a moment and yes mam!

My Wife would say the same thing. She knows I would worry about the car and not enjoy Thanksgiving with the family! Smart Women!

Though mine is in Hibernation, so driving it is not a option anyways...

Smart woman . . . knows her hubby . .

Definitely a keeper (obligatory: you're probably over-chicked too!)

She just may have saved you from having some scratches put on the car. Nice of her to think of that ahead of time.

I can relate. When I was a wee lad, my brother had 1963 split window coupe. I was 7, he was 21. I would beg him and cry if I had to, for him to give me a ride in that car. I would just sit and stare at it. Kids and Corvettes, its' just magical.
