So… After I shared my blog with family and friends, Mommy reminds me of yet another story my damn Etch-A-Sketch for a brain forgot about. She emails me this:

Just read a couple stories but the one about you almost killing your gal pal made me think of when you first got your shinny new white car and we stopped off at Food Lion. I, like your friend, waited in the car (but it was turned off) and as you walked towards the store the locks locked and the alarm went on. I was scared to death to move or even breath and just prayed that no one that I knew would come up and want to talk to me where I would have to roll down the windows. When you finally came out of the store, I’m waving at you making a hand gesture to turn the car alarm off. You thought this was funny but I was pretty stressed!

Love

Mom

The car I had bought would automatically alarm itself after a couple of minutes. I did not know this… and neither did my poor unsuspecting Mother. <evil grin> You should have seen her sitting there in the car not moving, trying so hard to get my attention ever so carefully so as not to set off the alarm. It was priceless!!

Makes ya wanna get in a car with me, doesnt it?
